And, with this may indeed come further regulation including price controls and/or a Public Internet Option -- it's for the children, 21st century education blah, blah, blah, discrimination against the poor.....

That is the plan. Once ISPs are co-opted by the FCC as public utilities they can be regulated. Once regulated, they can be censored. All for the public good of course.
