Yes because something that will literally kill you if there aren’t standards is analogous to net neutrality.

But even if it were, it’s #199542 why HN commenters don’t understand what a “monopoly” is and why utilities that require physical infrastructure which are natural monopolies aren’t the same as cellular where there are three healthy competitors.
