said by chimera:Correct, but most states have similar laws that apply both to them and local municipalities. In addition congress has the authority to regulate interstate and international commerce which the internet does fall under. Since most ISPs and every major ISP is a multi-state entity the regulation of these falls to congress and the federal government.
As such it is the federal governments place to say if an ISP has the right to block off content as ISPs are using public land and int he case of wireless networks, public airwaves all of which is regulated by federal, state and local governments. Denying them access would cause problems as major providers are already too big to fail, so for all practical purposes they are already part of the governing apparatus of this country.
very well said. Public thumbs up.
