Voogle (the pact between Google and Verizon Wireless) hasn’t killed the Net Neutrality yet, but many wireless carriers have already started their abuse. The new bastard is “T-Mobile” which happens to be my own carrier too 
Their case is yet classic example of a totally arbitrary decision by a carrier to block text message calls between consumers and organizations they want to communicate with. Read more of this post

Google CEO Eric Schmidt appeared a few nights ago on The Colbert Report. The two discussed everything from user privacy to why Google exited China and Google’s “Don’t be Evil” thing.
Although, the interview was funny, I just wish Colbert was aware of the recent News around the possible destruction of Net Neutrality by Voogle (Google and Verizon). He could have nailed Schmidt on that when Schmidt claimed Google was still about “Don’t Be Evil”. Read more of this post

Since the recent net neutrality fiasco erupted by Google and Verizon earlier this month, it was first Voogle Wireless, then me, then Jon Stewart, and now the three musketiers from the Congress have raised strong opposition against the dictatorship Google and Verizon are about to implement.

Those of you can’t make any sense of the title, I suggest you read my previous post on the subject which I defined the good, the bad, and the ugly companies on net neutrality. Here is the nasty one, Facebook!
Yesterday, Facebook entered the net neutrality debate with a statement critical of the key provisions of Google and Verizon’s net neutrality proposal.
In a statement, Facebook, which is also part of the coalition, suggested that exempting wireless networks from net neutrality rules, as proposed by Google and Verizon, was the wrong approach. Read more of this post

By now, it should be obvious to everyone that Google has been trying hard to create other revenue generating business models to help them to reduce their dependency on their sole search advertising business responsible for over 90% of their annual revenue. It is also becoming obvious (at least to me) as the company fails more and more with their new businesses like their Nexus One smartphone and Google Wave, they are becoming more evil than ever.
Google is in talks with Verizon that would kill the Net Neutrality for good once (or if) it goes through. It is certainly time to revoke Google’s “Do No Evil”. What the hell happened to their Public Policy statement? “Hey FCC, keep the Internet open — and awesome!” Read more of this post

FCC posted a new details of a plan under which the government would regulate the Internet and implement “network neutrality” on the nation’s broadband networks.

The new plan from the FCC comes after a recent federal appeals court ruling that questioned the agency’s authority to regulate U.S. broadband providers. read more…
