Now That It’s in the Broadband Game, Google Flip-Flops on Network Neutrality (Wired)

In the end the only way to deal with this is to rollback badly thought out but profitable deregulation. When I started in the internet business it was called ArpaNet and there was regulation in place called "common carrier". That regulation, like Glass-Steagle for banks, put a barrier between "products" and the services provided to move products. The phone company could only provide connectivity.

For any of these ISPs, we should revert the patch to the law that allowed them to also serve up content. If Google wants to offer a fiber network as a way to improve network access, they should do it as a completely separate company with no ties whatsoever to content. Anything else will result in the mess we have because the temptation to monopoly for greed's sake is too great without regulatory restraint. Simply remove the temptation from the guys who string the fiber so they can concentrate on what their business task should be, to build out and maintain a cost competitive communications service.
