What is Title II?
Title II refers to services that carry goods to others. Think about the U.S. Postal Service, railroads and ferries. They carry mail and deliver on behalf of businesses and individuals. They transport (or carry) for the common people. It's where the term "common carrier"originated from. This also means that the service provider or carrier, must charge everyone the same price for the same service.
The internet, like mail carriers, has evolved into a service that carries common information and should be regulated as such. Just as mail services deliver packages on behalf of businesses and individuals, schools now deliver education online, people pay bills online, sign up for various services online, make reservations, and communicate with loved ones online. Reclassifying internet service providers to Title I services would mean that ISPs could prioritize which websites people can visit and for how much.
