It is interesting that this article doesn't mention how the United States broadband companies, despite their trillions of investments still can't offer decent speeds at decent prices. When compared to other countries it is clear that the United States needs some sort of regulation on these internet providers for the good of everyone. Hopefully this doesn't come at the expense of openess.

But the states and municipalities like selling local monopolies and Congress doesn't seem to want to smack them down (the internet is used in interstate/global commerce; it's much less of a stretch than say growing your own weed having an effect on the interstate black market), so limiting what can be done with those monopolies is a decent second choice.
