Google, which was originally a a critical of threats is not criticizing the Open Internet Coalition after they let Comcast regulate its network as it sees fit for themselves. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled April 6 that the FCC did not have the authority to order Comcast to stop throttling BitTorrent traffic and that Comcast could regulate Internet traffic over its own system. The FCC in 2008 had complained that Comcast and other Internet providers must treat content that traverses their pipes equally. Comcast took the FCC to the court and won. I think this is ridiculous on google's part because they usually have the initiative to say what they truly think is unacceptable. I don't understand why Google is doing this, it seems very odd for them to randomly start not standing up for what they believe in. This was a resounding blow to FCC network neutrality principles that prohibit broadband providers from blocking users from accessing and sharing lawful content and applications from any devices. Google is so concerned about the tight control Comcast, Verizon, AT&T and other network operators wield over their networks that it is in the process of setting up high-speed broadband networks.
