Net neutrality is dead (on wireless networks) | Molly Rants – CNET News

Make no mistake: wireless broadband networks are the new battleground for both profit-taking and content delivery, and whatever Google and Verizon decide will, yes, drive future deals and legislation. The best we can hope for is a little more openness in their negotiations. But make plans to keep a nice fat Ethernet pipe running to your house, if you can get it, because wireless networks aren’t going to be an answer to bandwidth caps, broadband competition, or high broadband prices anytime soon.

As a google fan, this really disappoints me. Wireless internet is the new broadband. I can only hope the FCC and this administration can use their proper to allow for a neutral internet. Bits are Bits. Molly wood has perfect encapsulation of what many including me feel.
