It's very good. Those who see some dark conspiracy behind this are nuts.

In addition to preserving equal access, classifying broadband as a utility opens up access to the infrastructure, i.e. underground conduits and utility poles, to companies like google that want to enter a market but can't because the costs are prohibitive. It also allows municipalities to operate citizen-owned broadband.

So Mark Cuban is a nut? Lo ok.
The idea of nn is unquestionably good, 300 pages of new regulation and big government regulation... Probably bad.

How many municipalities operate citizen owned water and power? You're living in a dream world. The government can't even get it's head out of it's own arse, much less improve upon anything that private companies have established.
