[QUOTE=justsexxx]Lol what a clowns. Bellsouth wants that google pays bellsouth, because users of this ISP burn a lot of BW on google.

i would love to see bellsouth block google cause they wont pay. then see how fast bellsouth loses customers.

the lec's are so mad they dont control communications anymore..... but there isnt much they can do about it these days.

wait til some of these portals start offering free wireless access nationwide

As a whole, I don't think surfers would unsubscribe. I think they'd just find another SE.

It's a lot easier to do than messing with switching your provider...

I want to see a reference though; please post a link justsexxx

It would be easy,
start by blocking 20% of calls to google. move to 30, then forty and if peoplecomplain say it is on the google pipe that the problem is, and recommend some search engine that does pay

hmm, never thought of that. but i would think that the other guys wont pay either... if any of the portals caved and paid, every isp would start charging...

It won't be the first. Another big ISP(tiscali) tried the same with radio streams...

Google has rebuffed to an outrageous demand by BellSouth, in which the phone company proposed to charge Google for access to its customers. Bill Smith of Bell South told reporters that he wanted "to charge Yahoo Inc. for the opportunity to have its search site load faster than that of Google Inc." Google has responded with an unequivocal no -- a flat refusal to pay blood-money to carriers to keep them from discriminating against its services. Honestly, what the hell is BellSouth thinking? The whole point of an ISP is that it delivers the same packets as every other ISP; anything else is substandard. There's only one Google, but T1s come and go.
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."

fuck how stupid can the be?

**Wiggles** · 01-23-2006, 11:03 AM

then they should put a cap on bandwidth like other isps have done, don't blame a super successful company haha

**cool1** · 01-23-2006, 11:06 AM

Google has gotten so big everyone wants to try to get a little piece of it for nothing

**SmokeyTheBear** · 01-23-2006, 11:16 AM

i dont get what exactly they would charge google for ?

Google doesnt "cause" isp's to use bandwidth, the customers do..

That would be like a mechanic charging "ford" everytime someone fixed and PAID for a repair on fords.

Its completely the opposite way it should work .. if users are incurring lots of bandwidth because google is so good. google should be CHARGING the isp's if anything..

The more bandwidth you use the more your isp can charge you , so google is only "helping" the isp's

Example.. if i wasnt using google and not using so much bandwidth , i wouldnt need a top notch connection , i would use a smaller isp package..
