Google Fires Off Warning to US Telcos

mytrip writes "The US Senate Commerce Committee last week approved reforms in communications legislation that will make it easier for Internet providers to offer IP-based television. The resultant perceived threat of telecommunications companies muscling in on the Web has stirred search giant Google into firing off warnings. A spokesman said it would not hesitate to file anti-trust complaints if Internet-providing telcos abuse powers that could come from U.S. legislators in further reforms - some of which, Google argues, could threaten 'Net Neutrality'.

Can we stop these already please? They were making a brief chuckle in the original news story, now they're just unfunny and modded up by people who enjoy wasting mod points.

Jokes rarely improve a discussion, the same was modding troll or flamebait doesn't. Modding insightful or intresting improves slashdot. It brings forward the good stuff where as if people want jokes they can set Funny +4 and only 1 funny mod point is needed to give them just what they want, while not bothering the general flow.
