Today's focus: Is Google becoming evil?

By Jeff Caruso

Is Google becoming evil?

Backspinner Mark Gibbs this week considers what Google's recent
actions mean in terms of good, evil and simple maturity.

Don't underestimate the power of greed

Record companies would be nuts to walk away from iTunes, says
Scott Bradner. Or maybe just greedy. And stupid.

Should you trust in a VPN?

In this week's User View, Chuck Yoke contemplates the viability
of Internet-based VPNs, given the instability of the Internet
and all its moving parts.

Tax outdated

Today's federal telecom law still has elements dating back to
1898, long before VoIP - long before most acronyms came in to
being, really. Johna Till Johnson this week calls for a hard
look at the way telecom services are taxed.

Fiber all the way home

What does it take for Verizon to run fiber optics all the way to
your home? Network World Editor-in-Chief John Dix asks and
answers this question in this week's editorial.
