The NY Times article has little to nothing to do with reality and it was bad of PennPIRG to cite that bit of twaddle. That said, the actual, published document has some huge issues. It pays excellent lip service to net neutrality, but it has simply HUGE loopholes with lots of weasel words that could be used to get away with most anything. for example, it expressly excludes and wireless network. It is being widely interpreted as being anti-network neutrality. Whether Google intended this is unclear. I suspect Verizon wanted exactly what it got. -- R.
