Google and Verizon are said to be about to sign a deal to make Google faster on Verizon. This is bad.
This is exactly why net neutrality is important, and exactly what we've been warning could happen. If Google's content has priority on the internet, then Google will get fat and lazy, because the next kid in a garage with a great idea won't be able to compete. Verizon will make garage kid's content super slow, and Google will start sucking.
The only way Google isn't being evil here is if they don't want to succeed, but are trying to get the government to get off their butts and create regulations to block this deal. But this is a weird way to make that happen.
