Re: Do they all think they can command the tide?
If you read beyond the headline, they're not prejudging that question. Rather they appear to be asking sensible questions, not least that of whether and in what sense the 'net can be regulated. It might even be worth submitting comments, if you can get past the kneejerk reaction.
In that case may I humbly suggest that they begin witht he question "Why do we want to regulate the internet?" and very quickly follow that up with answers to the question "What are our preferred outcomes in terms of any regulation we're seeking to apply?"
It might help frame the debate rather than having the usual trench warfare.
