Google and Verizon Divide The Net

Despite recently deny­ing they were destroy­ing net neu­tral­ity, Google and Ver­i­zon have announced a new tiered Inter­net which divides the net into paid and free channels. Paid chan­nels offer higher speeds and higher pri­or­ity over nor­mal traffic.

Essen­tially, the scheme pre­serves “net neu­tral­ity” by rel­e­gat­ing it to the “free” segment.
