If congress REALLY wanted to be useful, they could declare Internet access to be a first amendment right and providers of last mile access to be natural monopolies (to be regulated as such).
- tptacek 9y agoCongress can't "declare" something to be a First Amendment right. A thing is either guaranteed under 1A or it isn't; if it is, it's guaranteed regardless of the laws passed by Congress. That's a question for Article III tribunals.
