As I have said before during previous net neutrality "crises", this is just a symptom of extreme centralization.
The same thing that caused the Indian public to reject internet.org curated by Facebook.
Once we get massive consolidation, whether of banks, telcos, cable companies, social networks, phone makers or whatever else is "too big to fail" then your choice is illusory in the first place. Title I vs Title II isn't the most meaningful choice.
Originally the Internet was designed with no single point of failure, but now email, the web, streaming video, etc. has been centralized.
What we need to do is greenlight technology to enable decentralized:
+ Social Networking instead of server farms whose engineers post on highscalability
+ Mesh Networking instead of cellphone carriers whose networks go down in an emergency
+ Power Generation instead of a power grid that can cut you off anytime
Bitcoin decentralized money. Git decentralized version control. Look at how the power and trust dynamics shifted. That's what we need.
The best way to do that is to fund open source hardware and software projects that will enable this technology to be widely available, and then regulators will have to expand their frameworks to allow it, as they did with bitcoin.
