Loaded: Google, Verizon in tiered-Net traffic talks

[903harman]

what i dont understand is who gives the rights to google and verizon to buy the internet?!

[neverfearchrisishere]

@903harman Verizon has a largely government authorized monopoly over communication infrastructure in much of America - this in itself isn't a problem providing they aren't allowed to abuse this position.... as they are planning too. It is not the monopoly that is the problem, it's the use/abuse of the monopoly to gain huge advantage in other related business - such as, say, only allowing video streaming from their partner Google who pays them for the privilege .

[903harman]

yay google destory what has made you what you are... im officially going to quit the internet once bullshit like this starts. then there marketing fuking shit is going to go down, whatever they think there going to do to make money. i hate how they hav ads everywhere now this isnt fucking tv!

[killerookami]

Google, the Lex Luthor of the internet. "I'm doing all this to save the world from the EVIL superman..."

Charging for "part" of the internet would be like Colorado and Wyoming charging to drive through their state, you could probably live with it but it would be really inconvenient..

Or better yet California and Florida charging all the people going to Disney, Universal, etc. because they are popular attractions.

Any way you cut it these are bad plans...

[knicks3085]

Why would Google and Verizon do this? Especially Verizon? They are going to lose so many customers!

[Bojaxs]

I'm dumping chrome. Firefox, here I come!

[bweazel]

Oh grow up. Chrome is still a great browser, and Google is still a great company. This is just a business deal that has nothing to do with you (or any of us) at all. Google's ISP wanted a piece of google's cake, and rightfully so. You can't just continue to lay the burden on your supply chain without cutting the supply chain some money to upgrade. Google probably realized this. That's all this is, it's not like they betrayed you or anything, so again, grow up, think about the real issues.

[903harman]

@bweazel you fuking idiot, stfu you dont know what your talking about!

this is going to affect everyone!

[bweazel]

Haha. What part of what I said is wrong then? If you're so educated that is. Go ahead. That or you can go fuck yourself ;)

[redleader55yt]

LISTEN MY FELLOW YOUTUBERS!!!

We can write all we want now in the comments, but REMEMBER THIS MOMENT. REMEMBER YOUR HATRED AND ANGER AT GOOGLE AND VERIZON.

REMEMBER....to vote against ANYONE that doesn't support net neutrality!!! Write your senators and reps guys, we have the goddamn power here, not these ASSHOLES. The USERS, PEOPLE LIKE US made the internet the BEHEMOTH it currently is. Use your power, VOTE, WRITE, and make it count...we can stop this BS if we work together!!!!

[redleader55yt]

@redleader55yt oh SHIT I forgot youtube is owned by google... if I disappear you know who did it!!

[redleader55yt]

Google is just a corporate tool that has no more morals than any other fuckin company. Diversify people... don't get Android, gmail, gtalk, chrome os, etc.. you gotta diversify so one company can't control eeverything you own.

[drl15son]

AT&T and Sprint Will have a field day with Verizon. This will back-fire on Google and Verizon. I am changing my search engine right now, and I will never buy anything from Verizon.

[MewMichaelX7]

Google and Verzion should not sell out the internet. What are they thinking? Greedy douches.

[MiKikaIwaShizaru]

Google + Verizon

=

"Buh-Bye Verizon ISP, don't let the phone hit you on the way out (that I am THROWING at you!)..."

Also, don't Google, use Ixquick, or Duck Duck Go or Cuil etc.

(If you must, Scroogle instead of Googling...)

[donaghnorth]

Diana vickers on adds for cnet tv!!! :O you sexy bitch diana!! im donagh north and diana you just been loaded ;)

[goldtones]

Google's motto was "Don't be Evil?" If I knew that I never would have kept my gmail account this long.

[walkerck]

Jeff's dad was awesome on Quantum Leap. I loved that show.

[chodaboy51500]

Boycott time.

[singlephase80]

This sucks

Hopefully the monopoly law will come into effect, but probably not.

Google and sony are taking over communications.

It may not seem like its much now, but it will open the door to much more invasive and much more fuck you in the arse policies from these companies.

Fuck sony

[RememberToday4ever]

Google are Big. We the People are Bigger

[RememberToday4ever]

Boycott Google and Verizon. The people of the World own the Internet not Google or Verizon. Power to the People !! Viva le revolution !!

[Laoch111]

@RememberToday4ever Yes! This is capitalism screwing things up yet again. What is Google thinking? The internet was created through sharing ideas and technology, this completely goes against that!

[6satan6ist6]

they put the REPO on the video thats so damn funny. GO JEFFY! :D

[Chamozovitala]

The hipocresy of Verizon and google have no limits. They deny any such agreement exists and they use a BS type of rational to justify the agreements the are making.

[NhanInk]

jeff need to put some shades !!!!!! because jeff will be soooo cooooolllllllllllzzzzzzzzzz

[Odenkay]

I knew this was going to happen.

ONCE $ IS INOLVED THE COCKROACHES COME OUT.

The bigger the company the less respect they hold towards equality and freedom.

[lotsblocks]

google is good with phones and homepages. thats it

[Pinwormx]

Wave was failed to begin with.

[jschmitz23]

Good job Jeff! I don't know what these other people are talking about, you rock!

[JohnVonMixMacStudios]

@jschmitz23 hahah opfer

[CellphoneTL]

I remember using google wave. I barely understood it, and nobody I knew understood it either.

[jagjagin]

I want Mark

[turkeyman64]

Google against net neutrality really disappointed me :(

[Santiagosony]

@turkeyman64 yeah!

[bweazel]

Google being against net neutrality surprises me. You would think they'd want to buy out one of the tier 1's. Which if you really think about it, is why the telecoms are trying to charge more for the data traveling through their lines. They really don't care too much what type of data it is, there is plenty of capacity, they care more about how much money is flowing through their lines, and they want a piece, google was unwilling to share. Seems the telecoms finally flexed their muscle though

[Heartagramerz]

yeah... i never understood Google Wave

[keepingthememories]

I can't understand what the problem is with the host. I understood him correctly. Then again, I don't stair at the bloke whilst watching these videos.

[Saltydko]

good bye wave

[daeman20]

Stop reading the fucking screen!!!

[j7x54]

[dmain2g]

[Aphrodit3]

A blow to net neutrality well who didn't see this coming who dya thinks owns google corporation..

[mightymelee]

DUDE GET SOME SLEEP!!!

[superseandude]

[mrlucas8989]

[Degarem]
