[1st-mile-nm] NN Query

[Mimbres Communications]

The US has a 100+ year history with regulated utilities and, as a result, a
well-developed body of case law surrounding that.  This recent decision is
unprecedented, and if allowed to stand, it effectively removes the FCC from
having authority over broadband -- which in turn makes it nearly impossible
for the FTC or any other agency to act.
