Google, Ebay and Amazon To Start Their Own Internet?

THE BIG three internet sites Google, eBay and Amazon might build their own wireless internet if the US telcos move to charge them for sending customers to their sites.
AT&T and the telcos have got government backing to charge Google and other Web sites extortion-type fees unless Google and others pay for adequate bandwidth.

Is telcos in generel reference to telephone companies or is there a company called telcos?

Edit: Is there still a need for wires? Can’t we go all wireless yet?

It’s reference to the large telephone companies like Verizon, ATT/SBC, etc…
