Google isn't talking about filing suit over local telecommunications, they're talking about the internet backbone, where there is no one near having a monopoly.

Wrong again. Google has acquired it's own fiber network to backhaul their traffic.

The dispute between Google and the telcos is centered on the "last mile" from the local wire center to the customer premises. The telcos are trying to prevent Google and other competitors from offering video services that would compete against their nascent IPTV services.

Net nuetrality like Google wants is not confined to "last mile", whatever made you think it was?

Tell you what, just ping me if your imaginary anti-trust suit against anyone who doesn't have a monopoly ever happpens. Thanks.
