It seems to be slightly short on facts as well:

The study estimated Google used 16.5% of all U.S. consumer Internet traffic in 2008 ...

The study estimated Google’s payment to fund just the U.S. consumer broadband Internet segment to be approximately $344 million in 2008 ...

That's a lot of estimating.
