Partisan policy aside, the government wants us to want them to regulate the nets.
Hmm, I'm pretty sure I already pay taxes on my FIOS line, so I'm not sure what you're talking about.
I don't know what the government wants (and since it's made up of many thousands of people with differing opinions, I'm sure there is no one answer), but I want the government to regulate the ISPs (not the whole net) because the ISPs have amply demonstrated that when left on their own, they do a really really bad job. Verizon, Comcast, and the others have nobody else to blame for this; they caused it by their own actions.
