If they plan to put Internet under Title 2, let me point out that Title 2 has a lot to do with licensing and fees:

Title II, "Broadcast Services": Outlines the granting and licensing of broadcast spectrum by the government, including a provision to issue licenses to current television stations to commence digital television broadcasting, the use of the revenues generated by such licensing, the terms of broadcast licenses, the process of renewing broadcast licenses, direct broadcast satellite services, automated ship distress and safety systems, and restrictions on over-the-air reception devices

Sec. 201. Broadcast spectrum flexibility.
Sec. 202. Broadcast ownership.
Sec. 203. Term of licenses.
Sec. 204. Broadcast license renewal procedures.
Sec. 205. Direct broadcast satellite service.
Sec. 206. Automated ship distress and safety systems.
Sec. 207. Restrictions on over-the-air reception devices.

But that is wireless regulation where radio frequencies are a limited commodity. Internet communications do not have frequency allocation issues.

The only thing that broadcast and broadband has in common is the prefix "broad," which I suspect this administration is counting on using to confuse the stupid American public.
