Current global debt is in excess of 100 trillion dollars.

That alone is enough to illustrate the situation. If you must have a cherry on top, worldwide derivatives are likely in excess of 1 quadrillion dollars.

Regulation is a nice thought.

Yes. The telecoms are government regulated, and they suck. Now the internet can be regulated likewise, and start to suck. Any time the government offers something, it expects much in return.

I'd rather have Google, et al, provide a market solution to this, by aggressively expanding Fiber without regulation, and laying down a secondary network to compete with Comcast/Time Warner. As it stands this is starting to look more and more like an attempt to maintain power for the traditional shitty telecoms, while also taking a slice out of Google's pie.
