You make a valid point. What if these commissions decide that using routers and sharing your connection within your home should now be illegal? What recourse would you have against this kind of intrusive government?

Don't think it can't happen. Regulators more often than not don't have a clue about what they regulate half the time.

It has already happened! Read up on the new Super-DMCA laws passed by several states, including Pennsylvania, that make it a crime to use any device or software that is used, or can be used, to diguise the true scource or destination of network transmissions. That is precisely what NAT on a broadband router/firewall does.

So we are already criminals in PA. Best we stop discussing our illegal acts, or else be charged with conspiracy and organized crime charges as well!
