Rumors about special agreement between Google and Verizon
Goggle und Verizon sollen kurz vor dem Abschluss einer Vereinbarung stehen, die dem Netzgiganten eine Sonderbehandlung seines Contents garantiert. Gerüchten zufolge sollen Googles IP-Pakete gegen eine Bezahlung priorisiert durch das Verizon-Netz geroutet werden.
According to a report in the New York Times, Google and Verizon are close to concluding this agreement. Both companies have since denied the article. The newspaper, however, is sticking to its account, as Netzwoche.ch writes. The regulatory authority FCC is less than pleased. "Any outcome, any agreement, that does not preserve the freedom and openness of the web for consumers and businesses is unacceptable to us," as Chairman Julius Genachowski is quoted by US media.
