Google’s back-door approach to Internet policy

Google isn't exactly sitting on its hands in the network neutrality debate. It's taking a more oblique approach to the Washington game -- like speaking through industry groups.

Google has also, like Netflix, begun shaming Internet providers that it perceives as laggards in the video streaming department. And it is clear Google hasn't completely disengaged from issues of Internet policy. It's simply grown more selective in its battles, and perhaps a little more ninja-like in the way it fights them.
