pbs.org — 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!

I'm gonna start playing powerball lottery just so I can buy Google stock. Atleast I know I'll be rich later with Google stock if I spent all my lottery winnings.

Google is good for beating the anti-network-neutrality idiots (att et al) because everyone expects google to be FAST. If some tier one isp/nsp slows down google people will be pissed.all your internets are belong to google! ayiabtg!
