Google Inc is lobbying internet providers and phone companies to establish a separate internet traffic lane in order to prioritize the search engine giant’s content, according to a leading report today.
Google has for years been one of the loudest advocates of internet neutrality, the practice of giving all internet data traffic the same level of priority.
However, the Wall Street Journal today reveals that the company, which now incorporates Youtube, wants to set up its own fast track on the web.
The precedent this would set would be to allow companies to pay internet providers for preferential treatment.
Smaller companies, businesses and websites could be left operating in the internet slow lane, unable to compete with the elite of the corporate world.
Defenders of net neutrality say this would constitute a form of censorship and maintain it would kill off the level playing field that has forged the greatest technological advance in human history.
Such a move may inevitably lead to a situation further down the line where a few large companies have a monopoly over online content and distribution.
Ironically, Google has positioned itself as a strong advocate of net neutrality and has often found itself on the receiving end of charges of freeloading from providers.
The company has responded by saying the report in The Wall Street Journal is “confused” and has reaffirmed its support for network neutrality.
Instead, Google explained that the OpenEdge effort (the subject of the WSJ story) was a plan to peer its edge-caching devices directly with the network operators so that the users of those broadband carriers get faster access to Google and YouTube’s content, reports GigaOM.
