But the internet is not a utility...

• dv_dt 8y ago
  Perhaps it would be useful to differentiate between the internet as a whole, and a last-mile service getting you access to the point where there is a fan-out of many different access options. As a whole, major parts of the internet do not have "utility" constraints, while wired end-point service certainly seems to have significant similarities in my mind.

  What makea you say that? I consider the internet a utility. I'm pretty sure the governments of many countries (including the UK where I live) do too.
