The only thing this would accomplish if it were true is to give more power to the 'Net Neutrality' argument.  So Google, who is a big proponent of net neutrality will get what they want, more control of how the internet is distributed to people, by acting like this big company trying to control how the internet is distributed to people.

Thanks Google, more and more you are looking like the Evil Empire we know you to be instead of the benevolent and altruistic Federation you pretend to emulate. And yes, the Empire is evil.

If there is one thing I've learned, it's that you cannot trust publicly traded companies anymore. They will throw some sort of spin on things when they want to hype something of their interest, and they most certainly will "100% deny" anything that could be a PR headache for them - even if the issue is true.

I trust the news source more than I trust the denial of Google and Verizon. They're in bed together behind the scenes scheming on how to earn more money.

The Times has lost all credibility for neutral reporting.  Their political coverage, and apparently their financial as well, is practically worthless.  Rely on it for accuracy - never.

....and ask them?  I'm truly cynical, so of course I believe it happened.  NO ISP would want to turn down the money and every large internet entity will offer wads of cash for preferential treatment.  Unless Earth has recently moved into the land of Xanadu....I'd assume the NY Times is on the ball on this one.
