That sounds like regulation, to me.


Limiting governments from making corrupt or short-sighted mistakes isn't usually considered 'regulation', but even if it is, this 'regulation' is also simultaneously local-franchise 'deregulation'.

And it's more sensible, since competition is a cure-all, than federal 'neutrality' rules about what services are allowable.


Looking back the this parent's original statement:

> I'd prefer that government entities remove themselves from open Internet pursuits entirely.

What you are describing doesn't follow this. You are in support of regulation, the thread OP isn't.
