For the majority of people in the US, competition exists for broadband access. Most areas have at a minimum cable and telco BB options. Some others also have wireless(fixed and WiFi) as well. And don't forget that 95% of the US is within range of satellite broadband too(though the price is a little high at $60/mo if also a satellite TV subscriber. And both wireless and wired options are popping up monthly.

And as long as there are competing players in the marketplace, the concerns over locking out of users from specific areas of the web are unfounded. Because 1 of the players would use that to get customers from the others.

Those who want the government to control things are also the same people who think the best solution to everything is a nanny government to run their lives and make all their decisions for them.
