Not sure why people are downvoting this but Title II goes back to the Communications Act of 1934 [1] [2] [3].

This may have been revised extensively in the Telecommunications Act of 1996 [4] and with subsequent policy changes around treatment of "telecommunications services", "information services" and "common carriers" but the point remains: Title II has a long history.
