> European operators call on Google to share revenues

> The heads leading European telecommunications groups, including  
> Telefonica, Deutsche Telekom and France Telecom, have called for  
> Google to start paying them for carrying content such as YouTube  
> videos on their networks, reports the Financial Times. To strengthen  
> their voice, the operators are interested in finding common cause  
> with media companies that get little or no money from Google when it  
> aggregates their content on Google News. Telefonica chairman Cesar  
> Alierta said Google should share some of its online advertising  
> revenue with carriers to compensate them for the billions of euros  
> they are investing in fixed-line and mobile infrastructure to  
> increase download speeds and network capacity. Alierta said that  
> regulators should step in to supervise a settlement if no revenue  
> sharing deal was possible between search engines led by Google and  
> network operators. France Telecom CEO Stephane Richard said, "Today,  
> there is a winner who Google. There are victims that are content  
> providers, and to a certain extent, network operators. We cannot  
> accept this". Deutsche Telekom CEO Rene Obermann stated, "There is  
> not a single Google service that is not reliant on network service.  
> We cannot offer our networks for free". Google's contribution to the  
> world's data traffic rose sixfold between 2007 and 2009, according  
> to Arbor Networks. Google senior policy director Rick Whitt denied  
> that the company was getting a free ride. He said Google was  
> spending heavily on its own data networks to carry its traffic to  
> the point where it is handed over to carriers around the world. Last  
> week, the chairman of Spanish telecommunications regulator CMT told  
> Expansion that he saw "no justification in forcing Google to share  
> its revenues with Telefonica. He criticised arguments such as 'since  
> you have a business that uses my infrastructure, I want part of your  
> business".
