- There is no statutory authority for the FCC to control the usage, pricing, or any other aspect of internet, as a utility.
Utility regulations control usage, pricing, taxation, etc.
- We know what they wanted to do to newspapers, tv, and radio. None of those are utilities - which is what saved them.
Making internet a utility places it under their control. They will be able to claim that the “critical information needs” of this or that "community" is not being served "properly", that this or that website is "biased", that an ISP must provide "balance" in the websites made available over their network. etc. We know their intentions.
There is no reason for their involvement. There is no authority for their involvement.

If you like your freedom of speech, you will be able to keep your freedom of speech. Period.
If you like your internet, you will be able to keep your internet. Period.
No one will take them away. No matter what.

Critical Information Needs study, which will embed government “researchers” into media organizations around the nation to make sure they are doing their job properly. 'Minders: - - 'to censor or otherwise control the flow of information'...
Every newspaper in the country needs to fight this... even if 'it's not as bad as being portrayed'... because trust me - it's worse than being portrayed.

There is no reason for their involvement. There is no authority for their involvement. And as you say, they're now involved.
Your #2 is dead accurate.
