Did Google sell out tech companies?
From what I've read so far, it sure seems like Google can't use their "don't be evil" slogan with a straight face.

UPDATE: More commentary: "Google-Verizon plan: Why you should worry" and "There's Only One Internet". I highly recommend staying on top of Daring Fireball's site -- John Gruber is following this story very closely and linking to posts like these.
2010-08-12 UPDATE: There's a lot more commentary available on this issue -- almost exclusively with a negative view of Google's actions. Here are a few: Wired's article (calls Google a "carrier-humping, net neutrality surrender monkey"), Betanews' article (calls the plan "worse than evil"), an EFF article breaking down the components of the plan, and a PC World article noting the objections to the plan. There's also this MacWorld article noting that AT&T has endorsed the plan (surprise!).
