Get Ready for Google's Internet: Pay for Premium Serviced Internet

Forget all the red tape, pay a price and get Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) all new premium internet, a faster version complete with 3D television, remote medical procedures, and bandwidth-intensive games.

Google is going to run the planet some day.

Google and Verizon (NYSE:VZ) announced a joint proposal on Monday that would allow ISPs to offer premium content bundles in addition to the regular, open internet, in an effort to stave off new net neutrality regulations.

The two companies say the guidelines would ensure that no internet traffic of any kind is prioritized over other (with the exception of viruses, spam and the like) on the internet. And on the flipside, it would grant content companies looking to deliver services that require too much bandwidth for the regular internet to do so in return for payment, via a second set of pipes.

“There should be a new, enforceable prohibition against discriminatory practices,” reads part of their proposal, posted on both Verizon’s and Google’s websites. “For the first time, wireline broadband providers would not be able to discriminate against or prioritize lawful internet content, applications or services in a way that causes harm to users or competition.”
