I agree, it is national communications policy. But why not try getting a new statute passed that isn't based on telephones from the switch-operator era? It just seems to me that it's being pressed so hard because it's such a "fad" issue right now. Most people honestly don't even have a clue what the FCC or "net neutrality" is. Sure, the FCC is accountable to the President (ultimately), and to congressional oversight committees, but they don't have to worry about being thrown out of office for any decisions they make.
