Of course one can
Hate-All-Over this stupid action by
stupid bureaucrats based merely on their stated goals, even without knowing it's exact details. Why? - because the entire CONCEPT is damaging to the state of freedom, and of course internet access, regardless of the details.
It's simply not possible for governments to deal with a dynamic entity such as the "internet" - that's what the free market is for.
Even if it were possible, it wouldn't be desirable, since politicians make decisions based on politics, with winners and losers dictated by whim rather than economic reality.

I'm sorry my friend, but I must disagree.
Differing levels of access and service are not mere annoyances to be mitigated by some faceless fuck-wit bureaucrat. Differing levels of access and service are
absolutely essential to the growth and sustainability of any market.
It's why infrastructure is built by the Verizons and Earthlinks - in order to service high bandwidth NetFlixs and Amazons , infrastructure all of us low-bandwidth users piggy-back off of with lower-speed, lower-quality service at a lower price, even when we aren't NetFlixing and Amazoning..
Yet this free-market mayhem all conspires toward access getting better and faster, even for the low-end customers. Contrast this with the stagnant government regulated Bell companies that gave us frozen-in-time telephone service, almost entirely devoid of innovation, direct to your home from 1925.
