I like how Google said that this doesn't segment the Internet, but then goes on to say how it will segment out parts of the Internet, like "games" traffic, or "video" traffic. The "do no evil" slogan is a joke these days.

I mean, we're all happy with the way cell phone companies nickel and dime everyone with confusing and limiting packages... why wouldn't want this same type of model for the Internet as a whole? (ya, that was sarcasim)

I hope Google employees are participating in these protests, both internally and externally. They'll forever be remembered as the force that sold out the internet to corporate interests.

Great protest; thank you to all the activists who turned out today. Net neutrality is the most important free speech principle on earth right now, since all other freedom springs from the truly free speech of the Internet. I am shocked and saddened to see Google sell out so thoroughly on the issue.

Did Google just jump the shark?

Glad the rally went well. If MoveOn had given accurate directions, I would have been there.

I think this is a really important issue. We don't have any way of getting the truth except through the internet. When you see those polls demonstrating that some huge percentage of people believe Barack Obama wasn't born in the U.S, you realize that the media has been captured by corporate interests and ideologues. I live in a liberal area and I can't find a liberal radio station to listen to, but I can find 10 hate radio stations and 5 right wing religious stations. NPR is just nice polite republicans. KPFA is great, but I'd like to hear some progressive talk radio. I asked Comcast to take Fox out of my package and they refused, so I cancelled my cable (which by the way, I don't miss) It's crazy that we don't have any choice, anymore. I get all my info from the internet. I even read the NYT online.

Google's a corporation. Get over it.

@ tatateeta - are you serious? I don't see how you can actually believe any of that crap.

"We don't have any way of getting the truth except through the internet."

I feel for you. You probably didn't exist in the pre internet days from the way you hold the internet as all knowing.

"I live in a liberal area and I can't find a liberal radio station to listen to, but I can find 10 hate radio stations and 5 right wing religious stations."

Yes, you do live in the liberal armpit of California. Those "hate" stations are in reality "truth" stations. How's that stimulus package working out for you by the way?

"I asked Comcast to take Fox out of my package and they refused, so I cancelled my cable (which by the way, I don't miss) It's crazy that we don't have any choice, anymore. I get all my info from the internet. I even read the NYT online."

I find that MSNBC is nothing worth watching on my televison. Instead of raging, or crying about how unfair they are I just skip the channel. It is really easy. You want choices? And you support the current admin. I assume? Good luck with that.

Those crazy kids have that right provided to them by people fighting for rights. Just as you have the right to relocate to anywhere you want. Nothing is keeping you in this evil right wing area. And if you truly think the bay area is anything but liberal...you need to do your homework.

I was at the rally, pretty calm & tame. OP John got it fairly right. Google is fine with wireline net neutrality but doesn't want it for wireless. Well gee, I wonder where the future of communication is headed...
Thom - nothing keeping you here in this commie-pinko-liberal land either.
John A, shoulda used mapquest ;)
