Google has complained, for example, that a cable company could charge it much higher fees if it wants to run as fast as other competing sites. Bloggers warn that a broadband company could even restrict or slow down access to sites that express political viewpoints they disagree with. Cable and phone companies like BellSouth argue that since they?ve built these high-speed networks they should have the ability to charge higher rates for companies like Google (which...
