    Big Loss, Absolutely

    Big win? Not so much.

    What I understood Google wanted was to bring competition (other than big telecoms) in the hope of better access (lower prices). But as money and influence rule the day in our government now, this was to be expected.

    Another win for big business, another loss for consumers.
