Just think of all that innovation and investment that's been "stifled" over the last 50 years under Title II. Anyone remember having to "rent" their rotary phones from AT&T? Yes, I am that old. You were not allowed to connect a phone of your own.
Let's also remember that it was regulatory action that enabled us to connect modems and phones to AT&T's network. (Can you say "Carterphone" decision) And it was Title II regulation, and the Computer Inquiries, that allowed the Internet to be assembled from circuits leased from AT&T long lines.
