I know, let's create some government-sponsored enterprises, like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but for promoting broadband rather than home ownership!
After our big access push, the broadband intertubes will be a publicly-owned resource, like the broadcast airwaves. And we better not subsidize indecency or insensitive content with broad public resources! So content and corporate ownership structures can require FCC review, like over-the-air TV, rather than that messy anarchy that rules over books. (People can print anything in books and we can't fine them!)
Don't worry, though -- the FCC is always balanced, with 3 commissioners from the president's party, and 2 from the opposition party. All viewpoints are represented!
Remember, net neutrality for packets is only truly acheived when we have neutrality, equality, and justice for all people. Packets which contain hate speech, pornography, content inaccessible to the handicapped, political campaigning beyond the spending limits of the FEC, or an insufficient proportion of underrepresented viewpoints are not neutral. We won't allow them on our public nets!
Australia, China, the UK, and Saudi Arabia are all innovating in making their national networks serve national priorities -- the U.S. must not fall farther behind!
