But Google has news for them: It won't pay. Google told Networking Pipeline's Paul Kapustka in no uncertain terms that it won't give in to the cyberextortion. And despite reports to the contrary, Google says, it isn't talking with any carriers about the issue.
And next month Google-plex will be announced from the purchasing Qwest and Sprint. GoogleISP is an alternative ISP system that offers phone, TV shows, and network to your home. It will also have a satellite phone, link, radio and TV in 2008 for world-wide coverage. Google ISP will not offer deep discounts but will be a what you see is what you get method. Telephone will be subsidized with 10 second ads at the beginning of a call, but you can choose which ads meet your needs or you would prefer to hear. TV shows will use a model of ads at the beginning, middle and end of a show for your the consumers pleasure. If you do not want ads, you will be charged an appropriate higher rate to make up the missed costs. -- Stephen J Smoogen.
