Ebay bans Google Checkout

Ebay is outlawing its users from using Google’s new payment system.
Is it because there is too much of a conflict with Ebay’s own Paypal? Who knows. But apparently it is not an accepted payment method as of yet. There are over held a dozen requirements that Ebay requires of payment methods in order to get Ebay approval, including a track record of providing safe and reliable financial banking.
So needless to say, no Google Checkout on Ebay now, or maybe ever….

Google’s Net Neutrality battle is still on the hotseat

Telcos are hot on the path to gain the ability to set fees for delivering net content, thanks to a Senate committee.
The new bill will set up phone carriers and cable operators from any restrictions, and would be able to set fees however they see fit for delivering internet content.
Since companies like AT&T and Verizon are spending billions dropping fiber cables underground, they want the abilities to charge companies like Google and Yahoo for providing services over their cables.
If these bills are indeed passed, the telecommunications carriers would be in charge for upgrading, which in the eyes of many, we could see less upgrades, producing a slow speed of information for everyone.

Company is angry over its Google position

Here is it again - Kinderstart.com a kid based search engine based in LA was so upset with its Google position that it decided to take Google to court.
The tiff against Google started when Kinderstart started loosing rankings in the search engine going from 18 million page views a month in 2005, and then all of a sudden over 70 percent of their traffic just stopped coming.
Supposedly the owner thinks that Google black listed the site because it was also in the search engine market, and might be seen as a competitor with Google.
So, now Google has been asking a judge to dismiss the suit, because Google has its first amendment rights to choose whatever websites are the most relevant for the keyword term typed in the search engine.
Kinderstart might just have to wake up and realize that their website might not be the best search result […]

Google is not an ISP

Google is denying that it has been aiming at becoming an ISP. They are not planning on becoming an internet supplier outside of Mountain View and San Francisco. They are just planning for the future.
Wired mag asked Google about buying mobile dark fiber, only to find out that they were frustrated about the fact that “bozos in America aren’t rolling out IPv6^” so they will do it.
Google had hired Vint Cerf in 2005 in order to lead the IPv6 strategy, which will provide trillions more IP number combinations. The demand is heeded from the increasing demand for ip addresses from mobile devices such as handhelds, and phones. With the new IPv6 in place, the internet will be able to handle trillions of individual IP addresses.
