Re: actual legislation, not regulatory gerrymandering
Obaka's FCC should NEVER have simply reclassified internet as a 1930's era telephone,
The primary power grab is with a Republican FCC under Bush when CALEA and other phone legislation was expanded to cover Internet communications in 2004 by an executive order without congress being involved. So, first of all - it is a Shrubbery case, not an Obama one.
From that point onwards the Internet is officially treated as a phone for law enforcement and related regulatory compliance purposes. In that case, it might as well be treated like that for everything. If anything, Obama FCC decisions cleaned up the Bush mess and made it a bit more sane.
A case of walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it is a duck.
