[governance] Managing the Internet in the Public Interest

[David Cake]

This certainly seems to be a positive decision, and I welcome it.
However, regulation like a public utility, and in the public interest, are not quite the same thing. A good fit for the current US situation (in which alternative forms of regulation were specifically struck down by the courts), but regulation like a public utility may not be the best public interest solution for all nations.

Only one sentence, Michael, and you manage to fit in both an unhelpful oversimplification of the issue, AND a pointless, inaccurate, and nasty swipe at your civil society colleagues. Efficient.

Cheers

David
