Google Versus Big ISPs: A Battle Brewing

January 29, 2009

“Google Begins Effort to Find Internet Blockers”, a Reuters story here, caught my attention. The GOOG is making servers available so researchers can find chokepoints where “net neutrality” is violated. As a former Bell Labs’s contractor, a Bellcore contractor, and a USWest contractor, I’m not going to jump into this stew. I think that is news item, if accurate, marks a turning point in Googzilla’s trajectory. I am going to stick close to my nest in Harrod’s Creek, Kentucky, on this skirmish. The “new” AT&T versus the remnants of the “old” AT&T. Should be interesting.
