The Times sheds more light on the previously-denied Google/Verizon pact to strip net neutrality:
The proposal, however, carves out exceptions for Internet access over cellphone networks, and for potential new services that broadband providers could offer. In a joint blog post, the companies said these could include things like health care monitoring, “advanced educational services, or new entertainment and gaming options.”
Ah, look how the PR folks sell you a whopper. All indications are that more and more online access will be coming through mobile devices. Sooner rather than later most of us might well be getting most of our “online” information through cell networks. Coming up with different rules for mobile and traditional broadband today is simply ending Net Neutrality on a time-release loophole.
