I don’t always agree with Ayn Rand but I do agree with her that monopolies cannot exist without the help of government. This article shows you how that works:

WASHINGTON — Verizon Communications Inc and Google Inc agreed to a deal over how Internet traffic will be treated, sources told Reuters and The Associated Press.

The deal centers on a set of rules that determine how Internet traffic moves over land lines and to wireless devices.

Under the agreement, instead of the current system in which no content on the Internet is given preference over another, a new system would impose different costs for different types of service.

In the new tiered system, Verizon would not block or slow Internet traffic over land lines but it could do so to wireless devices, one source told Reuters.

Any deal that is reached could form the basis for federal legislation and would likely shape efforts by the Federal Communications Commission to broker an agreement on the contentious issue, which has pitted the nation’s big phone and cable companies against many big Internet companies.

A deal could be announced within days, one source close to the negotiations told the AP.

Closed-door meetings
The agreement comes among a series of closed-door meetings at the Federal Communications Commission involving the two companies, AT&T Inc and other Internet companies to set rules for the industry. more>>>
