[IP] [warning: layer 8/9] "Strange bedfellows, " aka a joint statement from Verizon Wireless and Google

Interesting, curious... but meaningful?

To my mind Google's language seems to be focused on wireline issues, which I guess are probably quite a bit easier for Verizon Wireless to accommodate.
Conversely, VW's emphasis on continuing self-regulation of wireless access would seem to be of secondary importance, at best, to Google.

Does this mean that a future of combat over "my (TCP) ports" is somewhat less likely?
Does this mean that Google won't be offering me FTTH within the next 2-3 years?

Inquiring minds take note!
