Some pretty irresponsible reporting here; google and verizon have no deal in place. All they did was partner up to try and move the discussion on wireless internet forward.

The author characterizes wireless and wired broadband as one in the same which they most definitely are not. All Google is trying to do is pre-empt the traffic congestion that will happen as more and more smartphones are eating more and more data. One look at how ATT's service and reputation suffered bcuz of the data demands of so many iphone users is testament to this.

Google has been looking out for us since day one, fighting for real net neutrality and even taking on China. Please people don't be so quick to throw them under the bus.
