By choosing to use Google you agree to their privacy policy and terms of use. Most people don't have the choice of ISP, they are stuck with the one their city allows in their neighborhood.
Also, stop using Google as a distraction.

- tptacek 10y agoThere were alternate operating systems in the 1990s, but Microsoft was still found to be exercising monopoly power.

There are still really good reasons why X != Y (or conditions that would cause seemingly equivalent X and Y to be evaluated differently). Perhaps the FCC needs more education on the subject. But more likely there is absolutely no rational rationale behind this action.
