Google has strong words for legislators who are currently mulling over net neutrality issues: the company will take any perceived abuse to the US Department of Justice. Speaking at a news conference in Bulgaria, Internet pioneer and now Google VP Vint Cerf said that the company will be 'happy' if legislators ultimately opt to support net neutrality principles, but in the absence of such support, the company will take a wait-and-see approach. "If we are not successful in our arguments... Then we will simply have to wait until something bad happens and then we will make known our case to the Department of Justice's anti-trust division," he said.

Do not for a second think that the corporations have far far far greater access to these desision makers then any mere mortal of a voter.
If they didn't have any more access, then the Commission wouldn't have "also tried selling us out on the subject of software patents."

The EU commission, yes, they did go after the biggest dog in the barn, they also tried selling us out on the subject of software patents.

The US is just more open about its bed fellows.
