See it's that kind of thinking that just floors me. When you just cast a wide brush and say all regulation is bad, that shows a fundamental lack of understanding of capitalism.

The regulation was applied to ensure that 5 big companies cannot do anti-trust.

Regulation is what you do when the market refuses to work it out themselves. The ISP market refused to self regulate, so that's when government steps in.
