According to the Wall Street Journal, Google had entered into discussion with major cable operators and mobile operators to obtain U.S. preferential treatment for its own web services. Meanwhile, the Mountain View giant said that could interfere with its manually search algorithm.
Neutrality: access to the network
Do not be evil, this is the leitmotif of Google, yet the Californian firm appears to be poised to waive that rule in several ways. Not satisfied to dominate the market for Internet search, Google is trying now to obtain partnerships with American ISPs to offer an optimized access to its Internet services. This raises the question of network neutrality.
For their part, operators explained that content providers should share the costs of their infrastructure, particularly because of a traffic increase of more than 50% annually. Also, they believe that to address this high bandwidth (especially because of the video streaming) they must find new revenue to update their network. Among these solutions, operators do not monetize quick access to content providers such as Google.
One of the big U.S. cable operators refused to sign such a partnership with Google because it would violate the principles of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) the neutrality of Internet networks. Interviewed by the Wall Street Journal, a leader of the ISP in question says that such a decision could cause serious legal repercussions "if we had signed, would ravage Washington"
