That's what all the Title II fracas is about.  Those of us in the
professional (regulatory) field fault the FCC of 20 years ago for not
insisting on that but creating this "information service" category
rather than putting them in the "telecommunications service" category
from the beginning.

As hams we are used to having the FCC look over our shoulders to make
sure that we play by the rules.  It's time that the "broadband"
infrastructure providers get a taste of that.
