Makes you wonder what will happen next. Will a high placed Google exec resign out of principle? Will there be any public statements by people such as Vint Cerf about what they believe that conflict with other statements by google execs?

I'd be really interested to know where he stands, he seems to be a very ethical person.




This is what I would like to know as well.

Google employees some of the most respected and seminal names in the history of the internet and I imagine their reputations and principles are worth more than whatever Google pays them.

I'm dying to hear the first comments from Vint, et al.


Yeah, I bet Cerf is considering resignation.

Uh, why would they resign now when they were OK with Google flaunting its previous (anti net neutrality) stance for the same nakedly selfish reasons?

Anyone naive enough to think Google was sacrificing Billions in revenue in order to pursue net neutrality was seriously out of touch with reality.

Google was attempting to "innovate through legislation". What better way to stop Bing from making a deal with Verizon or Comcast than to make such a deal illegal!
