It looks like Google is starting to see that whole net neutrality thing a little differently now that it's in the business of providing internet service. In a response to the FCC this week, the company argued that it’s justified in prohibiting Google Fiber subscribers from running servers on their shiny new gigabit connections. In the filing, originally reported by Wired , Google points to "policies of many major providers in the industry" such as Verizon and Comcast, all of whom require pricier commercial service to operate a server. Google doesn’t yet offer an equivalent tier of service to its customers.
