The cable ISPs are exactly the kind of companies that could use a little regulation under Title II, they are horrible.

My point is that government regulation is likely to make costs go up, not down, and cause a certain amount of technological lock-in as well. The history of Title II regulation of the circuit switched telephone network is an excellent example of this, and is why the FCC promises to exercise a "light touch" here.
