Google, eBay, Amazon may build their own Internet

The big three internet sites Google, eBay and Amazon might build their own wireless internet if the US telcos move to charge them for sending customers to their sites. AT&T and the telcos have got government backing to charge Google and other Web sites extortion-type fees unless Google and others pay for adequate bandwidth.

It is all industry speculation, but Investor’s Business Daily has indicated that with so much wireless spectrum up for grabs, all the big three have to do is buy it and construct a high-bandwidth wireless pipe into people’s homes and businesses.
