That's exactly what's happening. But the FCC does not have the power to do that because that falls under the jurisdiction of the FTC.

They announced this a few days ago [0]. NN would have nationalized the internet which is the opposite of what we want. But everyone is spreading FUD online and calling for title II clasification. We don't want the government controlling the internet. We want them preventing bad business practices that hurt consumers (i.e. break up monopolies). The FCC can't do that, but they can work with the FTC who can.

I don't see how NN would slow down breaking monopolies. The cost of complying with NN for new ISPs is negligible. And what do you mean by government "controlling" the internet? What are they deciding, exactly? As far as I know, it's just making sure that NN (the default state of computer networks) is preserved, by having them disclosing some data to the public.
