Google has made billions of dollars innovating internet search tools and consumer-based applications at no cost to the end user (unless you count giving up your privacy as no-cost). In this video, they now prognosticate that all service providers will be reduced to dumb highways moving bits from one location to another.
I think free markets respond to changes and Google's comments are based on today's networks. Many providers are quickly moving to make the network more "user-friendly" with features such as bandwidth on demand, and application management. I like to compare networks with highways. People use roads that offer the best experience and get them to their destination the fastest - even if it means paying a toll.
