Brin has actually gone to the Congress to protest. He also said that Google
compromised their principles in China, but will not reverse this -- a
betrayal!
As much as I would like to defend his stance and motives, all he tries to
achieve is prevention of premium costs for speedy Google bandwidth. Everyone
has got some interests, right? Sooner or later, we may be forced to pick
other Web hosts and shower them with money to gain speed and priority.
*sigh* Tiered Web.
Best wishes,
Roy
