- Google: net neutrality flip-flop in "spirit of compromise"
Ars Technica | 13th August 2010
- After taking a four-day beating on the blogosphere for its new stance on net neutrality, Google has posted a response to its critics. The search engine giant is not working with Verizon on this issue because of the Android OS used on some Verizon-sold smartphones, Google insists.
FACT: This is a policy proposal—not a business deal, Google's new fact sheet on the issue insists. Of course, Google has a close business relationship with Verizon, but ultimately this proposal has nothing to do with Android. Folks certainly should not be surprised by the announcement of this proposal, given our prior public policy work with Verizon on network neutrality, going back to January when both companies issued a joint filing to the Federal Communications Commission on this issue.
