Good. Another step towards moving things back under the FTC. I've never understand the love affair that so many have with the Obama admin regs that moved ISP under the FCC. Please tell me of one time that heaping layers and layers of new regs on an industry worked out for the good of the consumer in the end. Anyone that claims to be conservative or libertarian should fully support these moves by the Trump admin.

Net Neutrality is a great example of this. When you have a market that is not free and little to know competition then you have to have some sort of oversight to keep the company with the monopoly from screwing the consumer.
Please tell me how ISPs being able to tier internet access like Cable TV helps consumers.

FDA regulations pertaining to drug research protocols and developmental methods of new compounds.
NHTSA regulations that mandate vehicular safety standards, and permit recall enforcement via the courts.
USDA regulations that establish inspection protocols, packing standards, and other extensive mechanisms that promote food safety.
Shall I continue?
And I'm not an advocate of aggrandizing governmental authority - I'm simply stating that you occasionally just need to apply a series of regulatory policies to an industry to keep the market in check - and maintaining net neutrality is certainly one of those instances.
