I'm honestly not sure about that. Not only do you have the recently defeated Senate measure, you also have a history for US gov't action and pending legislation that could impact open access to he net. There's particular concern, for example, about the mischief - making that might result from implementing net neutrality. Seems like the first casualty of net neutrality would be video content. Now, I hate pop up video ads as much as the next guy, but the risk that net neutrality might impact political videos / content is a real concern.
Another example - I'm no fan porn distribution, but I was also no fan of the Communications Decency Act.
