Internet is replacing telephone for necessary basic communication.

Obviously it was explicitly tailored to telephones when it was passed over 30 years ago. That doesn't mean that reworking the program under the existing law is automatically a bad idea.

I'm probably reading more than I should into "under existing law", if you mean "change the meaning/interpretation of the words in the existing law" then ya, that's a bad idea.
