Why Google Became A Carrier-Humping, Net Neutrality Surrender Monkey

This Wired article wins for best title I’ve seen in awhile. The article is good too.

“We both recognize that wireless broadband is different from the traditional wireline world, in part because the mobile marketplace is more competitive and changing rapidly,” the joint statement said. “In recognition of the still-nascent nature of the wireless broadband marketplace, under this proposal we would not now apply most of the [Net Neutrality] wireline principles to wireless, except for the transparency requirement.”

That’s fancy language for: Verizon and the nation’s telecoms have yet again won; Google officially became a net neutrality surrender monkey; and you, as an American, have lost.
