#3 Whenever the federal government stamps its imprimatur on anything it costs more money and restricts free enterprise. Since there is no competition, incentives or creative spirit in government, the internet will become stagnant at the place where the feds came in. Think of Communism and design--not a particularly good marriage. The Post Office, ObamaCare, education, environment, energy, crony capitalism, etc. are examples of failed organizations within the government.
