Why do you oppose federalism so? If the rustic uneducated hicks of Chattanooga want to handle internet service differently than the brilliant elites of Philadelphia, in this system they're supposed to be free to do so. Perhaps eventually it will be more clear that Chattanooga has better ideas and policies than the geniuses in the telcos' pocket have. Even then, a federalist would not suggest laws enforcing the new consensus.
