Well, there's network regulation and there's network regulation. For example, what would happen if the FCC simply declared all ISPs and cellular broadband companies to be common carriers?
Then the ISPs would be forced to sell wholesale Internet access to new, competing ISPs. The mechanism for determining the rate-setting process is likely pretty cumbersome. It's not so clear that Title II reclassification would be less "regulatory" than net neutrality regs.
