That second link is extraordinary. They are claiming that
non-telecoms companies that have similar investment patterns to the telecoms industry before the Title II change can serve as a control.
That seems an awful lot like they're begging for a spurious correlation.
They might as well have generated a random walk that matched the investment levels.

If so, it seems to be working in my case at least!

It's like that Star Trek TNG where they defeated the Borg by showing them a paradoxical image whose explosion of contradictions was carefully designed to sabotage their entire logic subsystem, rendering them impotent. And we're the Borg.
