Google refuses BellSouth's attempted Cybextortion

From GoogleKnot

Google has turned down BellSouth's offer to charge Google to have their sites load faster than others. Good move Google, don't let those ISP's boss you around and way to not fall in league with the monopolistic bastards. The only problem is that someone else will pay. It will be there only way to compete with Google. That's ok though because it's only a matter of time until the telephony titans of yesteryear fall completely to wireless peer to peer.

I hope you don't mind the self promotion. I had to post it on GoogleKnot but i thought it was interesting enough to post here as well... and I'm trying to effect my technorati ranking. Speaking of which POST JCMB LINKS! and Please feel free to join in on the Google discussion.
