Judging from the way they've sent their paid attack dogs (http://precursorblog.com/) after Google, the baby bells don't like the search giant very much. They despise Google's positions on network neutrality, don't like their push into white space spectrum broadband, and generally think Google owes them for building a business model on the back of their networks (http://www.corpsman.com/shownews/69002). The dislike is mutual. Vint Cerf, co-creator of the TCP/IP protocol and Chief Internet Evangelist at Google, says in a video interview (http://www.siliconvalleywatcher.com/mt/archives/2008/07/internet_father.php) he has "very little warm feeling about those guys," and says the telcos generally act like children having tantrums. "I'm not going to build this system unless you give me three scoops of ice cream and a pony," jokes Cerf. "My reaction to this is quite negative. It's harmful to the national interest to behave in this way."
