there are no transcendent "rights." we create them. your whole foundation is built on sand.

If an ISP wants to sell "email-only" packages or "youtube only" packages, than that is their right... their property = their choice. if you don't like those products, then don't buy them.

If you don't want to be at the mercy of big corporations, then why do you want the state to regulate things? It's the big corporations that tell politicians what laws and regulations to make... By allowing the State to regulate things, you are eventually giving the big corporations powers they wouldn't be able to gain in a free market.
