I really appreciate you giving a good, legally intelligent critique to my thoughts. Thank you. On comparing to electric utilities I would counter with three things: first many of the regulations upon them are state or local level, which I think are appropriate for ISPs. Second, where the federal government is involved, there is a physical good being transferred across state lines--power. Finally one can make national security arguments for federal electricity oversight. Again I argue there is no concrete good being distributed by telecommunications networks. Only abstract. There should be a legal distinction, although I do not know enough to say if there is already. On doing things in a sensible order, I respect your thoughts, but politically I am inclined to disagree. Comcast et al have big legal teams and lobbying expenses for a reason, and I think this only further entrenches the big monopolies. I think that NN would be sufficiently difficult to enforce and likewise to defend against in court that it basically amounts to a law giving the executive more power over ISPs for possible future violations of privacy and free speech rights. Perhaps more people on here could agree with me if I advertised my stance as breaking up the big ISPs. But the FCC's net neutrality is the current topic in this space.
