Divest cable companies of the right to manage Internet services.

Internet services for consumers are classified by the FCC as an "Information Service" - the same as a cable TV or satellite TV service. Most consumers in the U.S. get their land-line Internet services from cable TV companies, so this is an inherent conflict of interest, since cable companies stand to lose money from cable TV subscriptions as streaming TV programs and movies move to the Internet. Since few cable companies face competition for Internet services except from other cable companies, there is no incentive for them to improve Internet pricing or service. Requiring Internet services to be sold by separate companies as a "common carrier" and to require direct competition will increase service and reduce costs, just as it did with phones in the 1980s.
