Google is considering a deal with Verizon to allow corporations to control which websites load quickly and easily and dump everyone else onto an Internet slow-lane. Tell Google to kill this deal.

If this is true it will be very disappointing because I have been a big supporter of google products. The idea of this will sour all my dealing with google. People can not allow companies greed to abuse the public. Kill the deal or be killed by public opinion!!!
This is based on the NYT report which has subsequently been denied by both Google and Verizon. Most likely they are negotiating "something", but not quite as severe as people would like to think.
You should consider supporting Net Neutrality and not waste your time signing up for this.
Thank you for the information. I will check out Net Neutrality and do some further investigating before I sign up for anything.
RoedGroed, this is not supporting anything other than showing your concern about monopolization and control of web. Do you have an evidential threshold limits and expectations from these entities?
After hearing what you say, "Most likely they are negotiating "something", but not quite as severe as people would like to think."
Should we feel "hmm. I guess situation is not that bad?"
this is the google world (national) computer. let it happen
Let it Happen? That's just what they want, dumb downed masses!!
Net Neutrality would make a Google/Verizon deal a non-issue, right?
"Importantly, this new nondiscrimination principle includes a presumption against prioritization of Internet traffic - including paid prioritization. So, in addition to not blocking or degrading of Internet content and applications, wireline broadband providers also could not favor particular Internet traffic over other traffic."

I am weary of things that people post on the internet as there is as much good information as misinformation. So far I have not found anything that supports the post made by Orhan Ayyuce.
hey Ladyretz, thank you. but you might be missing the bigger point. you posted two links, one by a verizon and another one by joint execs. from both monopolies in the make, and you discredited people in the end of one of your posts as misinformants for taking a stance against the gist of this issue which is the appearent control by two big corporations who can regulate the equal public availability of internet for everyone. even the possibility of that kind of control should be enough to raise public concern.
