military functions as well.
The DoD has their own private internet, they can't afford to have their internets held up by sticky tubes.

Actually I was responding to TK's very general statement that all government regulation is inherently bad. That is simply not true and I chose two of many examples to highlight that.

The internet is certainly a more complex issue. And while I agree the internet has a large business component it is also utilized for educational, government and military functions as well.

I don't particularly like the notion of the internet being regulated by the same people who think it's a series of tubes (although there are some people in congress smarter than that guy); But neither do I want corporations (whose only legal obligation is to shareholders) to regulate my usage either.

Getting more government regulation never solved anything, only made it worse.
Hardly. Clean air regulation (especially in California) has made quality of life better for many people.
That is comparing apples to oranges. We all own the air we all don't own a business network.
