Google is not the government. Google is just one company. The way people are talking about this you would legitimately think that Google ran the tubes, or something. They don't.
Google is telling the FCC how they might want to do things precisely because they're just one random company that couldn't possibly influence anything?

Just as Verizon tells them how they want to do things. As does Microsoft, and Apple, and every other big tech company.
Google is not there to "get a discussion going" - it's there to guide things towards its own interests, just like Verizon et al.
The point here is that Google is just another huge, evil(1) company among others like it, and that all its recent talk about openness is just PR-bullshit.
Also, they know who you are, Mr. ergo98.
