Importantly:

    those bright-line rules to mobile broadband

    there will be no rate regulation, no tariffs, no last-mile unbundling

I'm cautiously optimistic rate regulation won't be a significant problem.

Last-mile unbundling requires telecoms to sell their end-user service wholesale to competitors. Without it, Comcast–Time Warner will retain its monopoly.

    my proposal will modernize Title II, tailoring it for the 21st century, in order to provide returns necessary to construct competitive networks

He's lying. Removing last-mile unbundling prevents the construction of competitive networks.

Nevertheless, this is Net Neutrality. It just doesn't also dismantle the monopolies like true Title II would have.

Mobile was a surprise, to me at least. But Verizon was asking for it. Literally. Their DC argument was "you can't enforce Net Neutrality on us because you haven't classified us as common carriers." Well, problem solved.
