The idea of more gov regs, for sure if the fcc controls any part of it - just sucks. But the reason this law is happening is because the abuse is already happening!
The Internet is not an open free market - it's a multitude of markets that are HIGHLY regulated based on the regions they are located in. It's already packed with Regs (from local, state and fed), all around the world, unique to industries, even in America.
This could be a good or bad thing for our Industry - bad of the fcc douches it up - good if it happens as it should and ISP's can't charge the guy more / cut off him because one guy likes to download legal porn at all hours of the night.
P.S. The reason the phone companies are regulated is because they abused the powers they had, greatly - 20 years before any State/Fed stepped in. Every major phone company in America has already been classified as a monopoly, they abused powers they had like a teenage girl abuses text messaging - it never stops.
