You "abbreviated" the paragraph, and thus got what the court was

Title II regulation.
Un-freaking believable. Craig keeps insisting! Proving only that Craig is as
utterly befuddled as were the proof readers. The POINT Craig, is that the FCC
was classifying broadband as an "information service," not as a telecom
service. Are you starting to understand? So, this "conversely" stuff does not
apply to broadband service, according to the confused Supremes.
Hey, I can be just as obtuse as you are, Craig. Read what's written, don't make
it up. As written, an information service is subjected to Title II, at least in
the early sentences of this opinion. You must at least understand that much.
Information Services as defined above ARE NOT subject to Title II
regulation.
Here is the complete quote, for the THIRD TIME, to see if it sinks in at long
last:
----------------------------
https://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/04-277.ZS.html
"Information service" providers-those "offering . a capability for
[processing]
information via telecommunications," 47 U.S.C. § 153(20)-are subject to
mandatory regulation by the Federal Communications Commission as common
carriers under Title II of the Act.

Read it, Craig, again and again. And again.
And irrelevant. The court said that the purpose of an ISP service
it to connect to the Internet, NOT to a server operated by the ISP.
And how does that differ from a telephone service, Craig? How is a service
designed to connect to the Internet any LESS deserving of strict neutrality,
than a service designed to connect to the telephone network, 110 years ago? I
mean, functionally.
Ancient history Bert.
And exactly the same interstate commerce issues exist.
