I honestly do not know what is in these regulations, so I don’t really have much of an opinion on this, other than my general opinion that regulations should be few and far between.

The pro side of this argument cites the ‘evil’ of Corporatism that must be leashed at every turn. My concern is that these folks do not similarly recognize the ‘evil’ of unrestrained government. I think that they believe that government can’t be evil.

The pro side argues that Comcast et al will charge different rates for users based on their habits and predilections (streaming movies etc) and possibly filtering some sites entirely. We know that it can be done - look at the content filtering that China does.

I maintain that whatever heavy-handedness that any corporation may wield, it pales in comparison to the routine heavy-handedness of government.

As for jurisdiction, I haven’t seen a single thing that authorizes the FCC to say what happens on the interwebby, but when has a little thing like that ever stopped dhimicrats?!
