A lot of smart people say that we should separate network transport from application protocols. It seems that anyone who has thought about this carefully says the same thing, starting with Saltzer, Reed and Clark back in the early 80s, Cheshire in 1996, Isenberg in 1997, Cheshire again in 1998, Odlyzko in 1999, Reed again in 2000, Isenberg and Weinberger in 2001, and today Frankston.
We need a new Act to require this separation for the good of the internet, and all the users of it.
How about a Boucher-Hatch Internet Transparency Act?
