Why can’t I declare that I am the czar of the internet, or the highways, or grocery stores, or microchip factories, and start issuing edicts and laws?

Can local and regional and national internet service providers simply say FU to the FCC? How many divisions does the FCC have?

These carriers bow to the FCC and this relationship goes back years. I have seen this up close. They will file lawsuits but ultimately submit for further punishment and abuse.

Someone is going to have to explain this to me. I've read

"The goal is to prevent providers from slowing or blocking web traffic, or creating paid fast lanes on the Internet, said FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler."

Why is this a bad thing?
