You're being facetious because you're not that dense that you can't see a difference between a web application and a fiber connection, even if you don't support telecom reclassification.

Yes, there are gray areas everywhere, but sometimes it's not that complicated. This one isn't complicated. In the set of complicated and ambiguous issues, this one is very well defined.

But they do have commonalities too. Its clear that fiber provides a means of communication. But I think if you asked the average person or lawmaker if Gmail provides a means of communication, they would also say yes. Is that even an unreasonable conclusion?

Which Wikipedia makes pretty clear is commonly understood to mean a physical medium based upon electrical signals or electromagnetic waves.
