Um - in this case we&#x27;re saving the internet (well, really radio spectrum that people use to access the internet) from private corporations, not the government.  A totally free market sucks because there will never be a properly-maintained commons.  If it weren&#x27;t for the government, maybe I&#x27;d bolt my router to a 10-kilowatt transmitter so I can get my home wifi signal while I&#x27;m grocery shopping.  So what if it sucks for everyone else!  The government quite rightly regulates me in that area and says I can&#x27;t do that.<p>If the internet as we know it today ever dies, I&#x27;m 80% sure it will be due to private corporations screwing everyone to make an extra buck, not due to government over-regulation.
