Lessee heah....

Broadband connects interstate and internationally so it falls under the "Commerce" clause of the Constitution. It's okay for the fed to be in on it.

What one administration giveth, another may taketh away.

Is there something unique about this service? What I mean is that the fed taxes and regulates interstate and international goods and services--that's where a good portion of their budget originates.

Oh wait, now I get it: The fed is proposing to prevent states from imposing an intra-state tax. I don't know what conservatives think of it, but this libertarian federalist is agin it. So mark me down for "A", subsection "Rights".
