It's hard to tell from this report whether this is pro or anti consumer. Looks pro consumer to me... cato.org "Broadband deregulation is needed now more than ever. It would help rejuvenate the ailing high-tech economy and perhaps even help lead the broader economy out of the recession it dragged it into. Last minute efforts to water-down or even gut deregulation would be counter-productive and represent a blatant attempt by some companies to use the law to their own advantage. "Policy makers should take the regulatory shackles off this sector and let companies offer broadband services to consumers. Cable and satellite companies are already free to provide service to the public on whatever terms and price they wish; telephone companies should be given the same right. "Making it a crime for companies to offer consumers high-speed Internet access is not only a morally repugnant public policy, but it reeks of old-fashioned, command and control industrial policy. "It's time for policy makers to stop trying to micro-manage competition in this sector by mandating that everyone share the facilities owned by the Baby Bells. The better solution is to comprehensively deregulate this market and send a signal to the industry and investors that sharing is not competing; America needs more investment in facilities-based infrastructure, not more companies just trying to divide the existing pie."
