LogMeIn is a great service, just not sure what use it would be in a vehicle. Can't name one time when I was in the car thinking I wished I could remote to my pc at home. In reply to: "Ford trucks getting LogMeIn remote PC access"

First of all, Leo Laporte is very clear about not taking freebies from tech companies. He has integrity which is clearly above yours. Secondly the issue this post is talking about is that the providers are getting paid for the bandwidth Google is using. The consumer pays for bandwidth they use to get to Google as well. That almost sounds like double dipping for the providers. If they feel that they're not getting enough for their service they can always raise their rates, though that could lead to google or consumers switching to other service providers. Complaining about google seems more about a jealousy of success rather than a cost issue. It could also be that because of companies like Google and Apple and Microsoft there is more demand on the network. It is pretty well known that the providers are not able to provide the promised bandwidth to all of it's consumers if they all took full advantage of it. Then the fact that google is encouraging usage means that the providers are getting pinched more and more but that's mostly of their own making.
