No one is holding a gun to your head to watch commercials. Oh wait...

I don't have a hard position on this topic, but I can see what the FCC is proposing is to get internet to everyone in the US, and to let the innovators and job creators develop products and services that utilize this nationwide service. Actually, my earlier free TV/radio analogy was a bit off. It's more like President Eisenhower's interstate highway system. That ended up creating an explosion in growth of interstate commerce, travel, and businesses that capitalized on the new opportunities presented.
