I’d appreciate some additional eyes on this. Is there something I’m missing here?

Big picture, looking at the forest. Never, ever in recorded history since the dawn of man has any government or “ruling authority” - be it King, Prime Minister or Potentate - tried to PROMOTE unfettered human communications.

Instead they have always, ALWAYS tried to control and monitor speech. From Pope Leo X’s excommunication of Martin Luther in 1520, to the English Licensing of the Press act of 1662, to the Stamp Act of 1765 (only “official” paper could be used to write upon), CONTROL is what they always want.

And, now, after thousands of years of the human race, we are told to believe that Barak Obama’s FCC is different and they intend to PROMOTE uncontrolled speech via “net neutrality.”

I don’t think so.
