I would agree with you if there was real competition; if I had 5 or 10 or 15 choices in who I got broadband from at reasonable, consumer prices I'd be 100% against any kind of regulation. Personally I'd rather see the federal government overrule states which have made laws against municipal ownership of the last mile. And to start handing out small seed grants to get more places to install fiber everywhere and lease it to whatever company cares to re-sell it. For example I live in Houston where there utility company only owns the power distribution infrastructure. There are 100 (or so) companies that sell power at retail after buying it wholesale. http://www.powertochoose.org/ http://www.powertochoose.org/ I consider that to be excellent competition. Getting to choose between two power companies, however, I would not consider competition.
