The scariest thing about regulating 'the internet' is, what is the internet?
If I object to how they've done things and decide to build my own internet by setting up a mesh network, which then connects to someone who has/shares access to the internet, is that regulated too? What if an entire town uses that mesh network with many links to the internet, is that really going to be regulated by the UN?
Regulating 'the internet' is scary because it regulates all communication.
We almost need to name the internet something specific (the web?) so that when they screw it up the free thinkers of tomorrow still have an escape route into new/unregulated lands.
