This distinction between telecommunication and information services historically enabled the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to avoid regulation of the Internet core.

In 2005 [12], the FCC issued its "Internet Policy Statement" to ensure the existence of broadband networks that are widely deployed, open, affordable
