I think both sides just argue past each other. Democrats promote government regulation as the solution without discussing the problems. Heavy regulation often leads to stagnation and lack of innovation. You also have to deal with regulatory capture since your politicians now have huge influence and are worth bribing.

Republicans argue for "free-market solutions" which are actually government granted or encouraged monopolies where no competition exists.

There lots of examples of free market capitalism making the world a better place and markets failing as well. There are examples government run services providing great consistent services and there are examples of government bureaucracies soaking up budget and graft in their own or lobbyists interest.

Which tool do you think will work best in this situation and why? How do you plan to deal with the inherent problems of government involvement in ISP regulation?

I'm just tired of "free market solves all" vs "corporation are evil, government is universal solution". We learn nothing and convince no one.
