That’s not what I said, is it? What I said is, the NSA would be thrilled if internet access was nationalized. Because nationalizing internet access certainly would make it much easier for the NSA to tap into it. Just think, they wouldn’t have to go to each ISP or website operator independently, when they are part of the same government that already owns the pipes!
The key to that sentence is the “in theory” part. 
I’m not sure how much it really bears out, in practice.
I have no problem with regulation and legislation to keep big communications companies (or any other industry that threatens the goodwill of the public), but nationalizing the internet (the point that I was objecting to) is certainly not the way to go about keeping the internet safe for the common man.
