Google And Verizon Reiterate Their Love For The Open Internet

Google and Verizon today released an updated joint policy proposal for how the FCC should handle net neutrality. Both companies were careful to reiterate their love of the open Internet. During a joint press conference, Google CEO Eric Schmidt noted, "Google cares a lot about the open Internet. An open Internet allows for the next Google to be created."

Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg made clear that there would be "no prioritization of traffic that comes from Google." Although he does want to leave open the ability for Verizon to charge for prioritization on both existing and yet-to-be-determined future services which go above and beyond the existing Internet. Schmidt, however, says Google has no interest in doing anything that is not on the open Internet: "We love the Internet and we have no intention of doing anything other than the Internet."LAM RESEARCH LIBERTY GLOBAL LM ERICSSON LOGITECH INTERNATIONAL
