Fun fact: the airlines are still regulated as common carriers, even after much of the deregulation. No one is arguing for the FCC to set pricing, and having a universal service fund for broadband makes sense. USF funding was always levied at communication providers, not folks like plumbers that used the communication system. Your arguments against common sense, limited regulations of the most important communication infrastructure in the country are a whole bunch of FUD. There's no way the FCC is every going to start charging email providers or taxing What's App. I can see some sort of argument against the VoiP tax if there's a USF for broadband, but honestly, it's not a precedent that's heading anywhere.
