Every single item in this list was rectified prior to 2015. This is effectively showing title 1 is sufficient to address these harms.

Except that at least two of these resulted in Comcast and then Verizon suing and getting to continue doing each of them because the courts said they couldn't regulate against those practices unless they became Common Carriers.

They were rectified under the FCC's Net Neutrality rules.

Verizon sued and in 2014 the Courts ruled the FCC did not have the regulatory power to enforce these rules under Title I.
