Well for one thing much of what I have read to date state the problems seem to be more about the vagueness of the FFC oversight, which opens them up to greater control of the internet content, including wireless, which feeds back into the telecoms. And as telecoms and big internet corps become more intertwined through mergers it could create real problems if we don't have something to ensure that comercial business does not control the potential monopolies. The easier thing to do would be for the feds to not allow the mergers which they can already do. Either way the process could be a double edge sword. I still don't trust the Feds to do the right thing if they get all the power.
