Until our government started messing around with regulated telephone service the customer received a good value for their money. After the break up of the Bell System and lawmakers becoming sock puppets for big business, the regulation of telephone service was severely curtailed. I see no problem with regulating internet access as long as the regulators require the ISP's to provide universal service.
What the heck are you talking about? The break-up of Ma Bell was a Godsend for US telecommunications. The rate of outpouring of innovation has yet to be seen again in the industry.
