No...it means that companies that were given the right to build their telephone and cable networks (Internet pipelines) on PUBLIC lands, through PUBLIC rights of way (or the PUBLIC spectrum with regard to wireless) should be regulated in the PUBLIC interest.

In fact, it was the Democrat-led Congress that extended a moratorium on taxing Internet services/connections through at least 2014.
