Nothing in life – politics or the internet is new so to speak

On top of that most wars and hostilities long after the battle and emotions have ended usually involves riches to be had – usually if not always in the form of minerals such as  gold , diamonds and gemstones , black gold – oil or uranium

In this case the riches involves the internet and access to the black gold of advertising revenues

It used to be that people and potential customers had to physically ravel to your place of business – in the restaurant business the three most important factors to the success of any business were three things “location , location and location”

With the internet and virtual business its not physical location but rather virtual location and rankings

Google had been able to play coy and out of the debate of net neutrality – that is  that the internet is free and democratic and that “everyone ‘  deserves the same treatment in rankings and prevalence on the internet and world wide web

A troubling development in this debate and battle has been Google ( with all its power) acquiescing to the broadband industry in a joint workup proposal to the Federal Communications  Commision FCC in the US that somehow broadband wireless networks will have different terms and rules applied to these internet networks than the standard wired networks

Indeed in the FCC Google-Verison joint proposal seven key components are detailed.   Chief among these is that somehow wireless broadband  providers would not have to abide by policies and regulations  mandated to “net neutrality”

The interesting point is that America’s internet practices and infrastructure rules and guides the industry and whole world. Sure though America ( and even Al Gore) invented the internet.  America may be behind when it comes to broadband  market penetration to such market leaders such as South Korea and Canada. Yet look at hosting of sites ( web hosting) as per ip.  The highest majority ( and even foreign hosts such as Indian)  mainly seem to be in the US. Not even in such industrialzied areas such as Europe and the UK.

Some of this may be communications availability , lack of hampering rules and inexpensive power costs

Woe behold us if Mr. Obama has his way with “cap and trade”
