The ONLY reason the FCC would even consider any discussion about Internet regulation is to CHANGE the current state.

It is in discussion because heads of ISPs have made public statements that they want to change the current state. They began a program of demonizing content providers as freeloaders in order to garner public support for their change. They also began throttling traffic based on protocol without notifying customers.

For whatever problems might exist today, the Internet WORKS just like it is!

Good. Then help oppose the ISPs in order to keep it that way.

You trust the FCC and a democrat controlled congress to implement new regulations and increase the power of the FCC to command and control the ISPs to keep the internet working like it does today more than you trust market forces to do so? There is a good deal of competition, and ISPs are investing millions if not billions of dollars into higher capacity. This competition and a desire for return on investment is a much better force to improve internet service than increasing the regulatory power of the federal government.
