The latter party has already had significant trouble in their attempts to enforce neutrality, and telcos have fought it vigorously.&lt;p&gt;It seems clear that some sort of compromise was worth inspecting. Whether or not you agree with the Verizon/Google deal, it is worth criticizing it realistically (I thought the EFF&apos;s response is the best so far), rather than using charged language like &quot;A paper trail of betrayal&quot;.</text></comment>
