Federal Communications Commission Chair Jessica Rosenworcel on Tuesday proposed to bar cable and satellite TV providers from charging consumers early-termination fees to exit contracts.

IHO, this doesn’t affect how the Internet function, at all. Internet doesn’t just exist in the US. What it does is manage and governs the access to the Internet, and make it equaily accessible, within US jurisdiction. Micro or not, that’s subjective.

I think that quoted comment is just a word salad with near-zero truth intended to be there in the first place.
