Title II as written requires that rates be filed with the FCC and approved by the FCC (tariffs & rate regulation, respectively). Last-mile unbundling would force the people who currently run lines into your house to let other providers sell services over those lines.

These regulations that are part of the law are all going to be removed as part of a process called "forebearance", where the FCC can basically not enforce those parts if they feel it would be contrary to their overarching goal of increased broadband adoption in the country.



"removed … not enforce … contrary", I am so confused.

So does this mean that the FCC will force Comcast to allow competition to operate on the existing last mile of cable for broadband?


No, it means the last mile remains exclusive to the provider.
