The Google/Verizon deal basically says: - The old “wireline” Internet that will be irrelevant in a few years? We propose a “new, enforceable prohibition against discriminatory practices” on that. - New “wireless services” (aka the entire future of the Internet)? No equivalent nondiscrimination rules for that, but we’ll “create enforceable transparency rules.” That way, as Americans lose access to the free and open Internet, they can visibly watch it go away. - Just in case “wireless services” doesn’t encompass the entire future of the Internet, a new class of “new services” is envisioned, which Schmidt and Seidenberg actively differentiated from “the public Internet.” Basically, through private contracting, big corporations could deal directly with the Verizons and AT&Ts of the world to create the next YouTube, maybe dangle it without discrimination to the public just long enough for us to be hooked, and then discriminate like hell over it. But don’t worry, the FCC will “monitor the development of these services.” Read More About the Google/Verizon Anti-Net Neutrality Deal Here:
