If you were Google, you would be tempted to set-up your own internet. Where you do not have to talk to idiot US Senators or compromise with Communist governments.

But how could they do it?

Partner with a telecom company? Or with a cable TV company?

No, better to set up your own private wireless network to deliver service. Start with key markets (like San Francisco) and build from there.

Of course you need government regulators to award you the rights to the wireless spectrum. Google got the San Francisco contract.

Fueling the talk is a regulatory battle — the network neutrality issue — pitting Internet firms against phone companies AT&T, (T) Verizon Communications, (VZ) and BellSouth. (BLS)
