Really? That's a special kind of evil and should be illegal.
Nah, no need to make it illegal. He's referring to AT&T's "GigaPower" gigabit service in Austin... the same service that's available from 2 other providers for the same, or cheaper, as what AT&T's charging for their data-mined bullshit.
AT&T will have a fun time getting customers when Google and Grande point that out in their attack ads. :D
Frankly, I would be surprised if this was not in Google's ToS from the start, considering that Google's core business model is mining of big data. I suspect there wouldn't be an option to turn it off, not even by paying extra.
One other provider. Neither Google (1 Gbps, "by mid 2014") nor Time Warner (300 Mbps, "by the fall of 2014") is yet offering comparable service. Only AT&T and Grande have any actual ultra-high-speed customers at this time.

Unless Grande and Google eventually decide to do the same thing. Why not, from their perspective?

Google doesn't need to, your encrypted traffic is to their servers.
