There is no statutory authority for the FCC to control the usage, pricing, or any other aspect of internet, as a utility.
Utility regulations control usage, pricing, taxation, etc.
We know what they wanted to do to newspapers, tv, and radio. None of those are utilities - which is what saved them.
Making internet a utility places it under their control. They will be able to claim that the “critical information needs” of this or that "community" is not being served "properly", that this or that website is "biased", that an ISP must provide "balance" in the websites made available over their network. etc. We know their intentions.

There is no reason for their involvement. There is no authority for their involvement.

And as you say, they're now involved.

Your #2 is dead accurate.
