Here is the problem with AT&T's proposal…
It lists application services as public utilities. This is "Net Neutrality" on fucking steroids. Facebook, Google, Twitter… These become public utilities with the way AT&T is talking.
This also means that any internet site with sufficient activity or user base becomes subject to the FCC's utility rules and laws - and/or subjects all sites of a certain category to FCC regulation.
The chans, effectively, come under FCC regulation - or plausibly could.
This is not a "bill of rights."
The Bill of Rights forbids the government from taking certain actions. These are absolute red-flags. When the government stashes soldiers in your home, it is time to start sounding the alarms of revolution. When they try to take your means if defense, when they invalidate the authority of states, etc.
These are not statutes which are outlined that give us rights. These are limits on the power and reach if government.
Gab exists. Why do we need to declare Twitter a utility and trust politicians to make sure it is fair to us? The Internet and tech worlds have shown that consumers are extremely capable of protecting their own interests and that services will arise to meet demand.
What happened to land line services after the cell phone? Who even USES an old phone line, anymore? Those are utilities. Frozen in the past and beneath metric tons of bureaucracy and market monopolies.
The current laws and statutes need to be sorted out and applied. If a couple new laws need to be made for the Internet, I am open to the argument they are necessary - but as it stands, much of the internet has merely never been subjected to the laws every other business must follow.
