I use a web hosting company for my web pages. If my pages become wildly popular then I have to pay more - for the bandwidth I use. My web hosting company provides bandwidth that they are basically reselling. They buy bandwidth from their pipeline providers. MCI, Sprint, Verizon etc. Therefore when someone visits my web page, Verizon, etc gets paid.
So, I assume Google has an internet connection and that they pay someone for bandwidth. Their home pages are not so different from anyone elses in that respect. So I think the Telco's already make a bundle off of Google. No one is providing bandwidth to Google for free!
In the end, Google could provide their own backbone/pipe. Simply buy Verizon.
Or maybe just maybe there is a force 10 to the 39th power stronger than gravity?

WA state doesn't collect income tax - so I don't see how this law is motivated by tax revenue.
