    And Verizon, Comcast, and all the other large ISPs. Probably cell providers too.

      Not that I like Verizon and Comcast but they are only regional problems. They don’t operate everywhere in the world.

      In many countries, a lot of large ISPs are the inheritors of national monopolies and are not overly interested in global domination. They are shit, yes, but at a smaller scale. In this regard, they don’t really pose as a threat to the idea of open internet.

      Of course the US ISPs have a special place in the system and shouldn’t completely be forgotten but they are very far from the global domination of Google et al.
