> Reclassification would heap 80 years of regulatory baggage on broadband providers

Can anyone shed some light on what this baggage might consist of? I've heard rumblings that common carrier status might have unintended consequences, but I haven't actually seen them enumerated.

> imposing monopoly-era telephone rules and obligations on the 21st Century broadband marketplace

Last-mile ISPs are usually local monopolies. I see a lot of handwaving here about regulating "the Internet" rather than specific classes of company.

Would Title II reclassification only involve consumer ISPs, or would it also affect backbone providers like Level 3?

> We support the efforts ... to codify current policy

A great tactic on both sides is to claim that you're fighting for the status quo, which works pretty well. The Net Neutrality argument is "let's fight to keep ISPs from selectively deprioritizing traffic because that would break the Internet." The other side's argument is "let's fight to keep government from interfering because that would break the Internet".
