How does taking away options, and making it so only utility companies can be ISPs, give us more options? I very much doubt this will benefit the consumer. The only good ISPs are ISPs first, not utilities that also offer ISP. I would fight long and hard before having to rely on my power or phone company for all seven network layers.
