Once the implementation of that right is established, rural communities (where wireless Internet might be more difficult) could then be wired for Internet to comply with the FCC's fairness rules.

Of course, we should fight for FCC changes in the service classification and pressure to turn back this Net Neutrality ruling. But taking advantage of this moment to fight for the de-privatization of the Internet would be a wonderful way to underscore Internet access's status as a human right, demand that government do what it's created to do and reclaim the Internet as the technology the human race has created and expanded. That's worth the effort.
