I think Google has gone over the edge.

I think the time has come for us all to consider what power the people have.
It is time to make a stand.
Consider this,…
What if everyone who believed the net neutrality is paramount, and on September 1st 2010, made a stand.
All of them dropped verizon phone, verizon wireless, verizon fios and verizon fios tv.
What if all of the people who believe this is important, did a similar thing to google? Stopped using google for anything. No Searches, no email, no google voice, no google maps, no buzz etc?
Do you think they would take notice?
Not just for a day, but a huge slap in their face. No more google , no more verizon ever. If the people take a stand. the companies will surely fail quickly.
While I would not want to see companies fail, I would prefer they live up to their word. When they don’t live up to their word, and they think they are bigger than life, it is time to take them down a notch.
Verizon as a company can be wiped off the map in mere months if just 40% of the people canceled their accounts.
Google may take a bit longer. Keep in mind, the share holders would tell google what to do if they noticed a difference.
If other companies saw verizon fail then sprint and att would not attempt such an idiotic idea.
I will be leaving everything google and everything verizon on September 1st 2010.
Please join me.
Make a stand!
On September 1st, 2010, stop using Google for anything. Cancel your Verizon accounts.
Start now to set everything up to work around.

I will cut all their services on September 1st 2010.
Instead of verizon wireless I will use sprint.
Instead of verizon phone services I will use vonage.
Instead of verizon fios internet I will use time warner cable.
Instead of Fios TV I will use time warner Cable.

Instead of google maps I will use Bing.
Instead of google search I will use bing search.
Instead of google gmail I will use windows live or live.com

On September 1st, 2010 I will remove all things google or verizon from my cell phones and computer.

I will not come back to Verizon as I believe they overstepped their bounds.
I will not come back to google as I believe with this mistake they should fail.

Good Bye Verizon
Good Bye Google.

You signed my cancellation when you ended, or tried to end, net neutrality.

Please join me and make a stand on September 1st 2010 and end google and verizon instead of net neutrality.

Thanks for your kind words, Karen

“Only favors speedy websites” is too strong a statement.

Let’s say that Google encourages web sites to be speedy. Put otherwise: being fast never hurts while being slow … might hurt

Let’s say that I’m not under the impression Google is finally caving in after all these years. Rather, to close off the playing field before the rest of the race is ran … that must be an interesting prospect. Meanwhile they’d also be on the other side, at the receiving end: they own more dark fiber than anyone else seems to. They’ve been buying it up since — what? — 2005, 2006?
