I have to disagree. The "last mile" problem will require deep pockets, and investments like those are not made when the upside is restricted by regulation. There are those on HN who get excited by Google Fiber. Reclassification of broad band makes that investment by Google less profitable and therefor less likely.

You seem to assume that private companies are willing to invest in the last mile.
They are not.
I live in an area that's been trying to solve its last mile problem for over a decade now. It looks like it might finally be happening, too!
