This could all be taken care of if the internet would be classified as a utility like the telephone services. You can't do this sort of thing to a telephone service, as it is a government clasdified utility, and while that isn't my favorite thing in the world, if you did it to the basic levels of it, the laws governing it would (should) still apply to the higher levels if it. Won't happen with an obvious puppet put in as head of the FCC and a rubber stamp house and senate who placate a president with a 32% approval rating.
There was quite a bit of discussion last year about making the internet a utility. I don't remember all the details, but it has to go with how it will be treated federally, with taxes etc. and will cost more eventually if not.
I'm not too convinced either way though, so there's that.
The best argument I heard against was the stifling of innovation and it turning into land lines, which turned into useless monotech who refused to change without a form 37-41B, which most certainly did not exist. I can't argue that, as they're all hypotheticals, as all of these exist in a world of hypotheticals, including my original statement, so these types of discussions turn into sticky wickets super quick.
