Google controlling Internet? Some interesting reading

[Buzz]

Not sure whether its true, but it's an interesting opinion anyways.

Google controls more network fiber than any other organization. This is not to say that Google OWNS all that fiber, just that they control it through agreements with network operators. I find two very interesting aspects to this story: 1) that Google has acquired -- or even needs to acquire -- so much bandwidth, and; 2) that they don't own it, since probably the cheapest way to pick up that volume of fiber would be to simply buy out any number of backbone providers like Level 3 Communications.

interesting read - out like that, yeah it looks like Google are trying to become a major ISP: ADSL/Telephone/Television. Don't know if those type of ISPs exist in the US, but they are exploding in continental Europe. Looks like a good market to spread into.
