Well, "no" … but broadband is trying to be one without quite the same obligations. Broadband doesn't want to be rate-regulated. Duh. Broadband is basically a smart, relatively new, almost mandatory infrastructure majority owned by cable TV companies. Kind of like telephone service in the days of yore. But cable does have competition for its broadband service. Namely fiber or 5G or fixed wireless. In a few instances, all are controlled by the legacy cable TV operator.
Should Broadband Be a "Utility?" … Or Is Broadband Already That?
