BellSouth and Verizon have been trying to force big Web sites to pay
extortion-type fees if the sites want adequate bandwidth, with Google a
prime target. 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.

Google's Barry Schnitt told Paul in an email: "Google is not discussing
sharing of the costs of broadband networks with any carrier. We believe
consumers are already paying to support broadband access to the Internet
through subscription fees and, as a result, consumers should have the
freedom to use this connection without limitations."
