The fact that they lumped all "Big Tech" into one kettle shows that they are responding to current sociological and political biases more than any factual evidence.
While certain companies have become very large, powerful and influential does not mean that have (much less that they are abusing) monopolistic powers.
I find it is curious that media companies that collude to keep you buying bundles of media regardless of delivery method (cable, satellite, streaming) are not called out but companies that are voluntarily used like Google, FB, Apple, Amazon and Microsoft are being “investigated”.
Disney, Comcast and AT&T are far more worthy of investigating over anti-competitive and anti-consumer behavior.

Yes, we need to recognize broadband for what it is: a utility and treat it as such. The current paradigm has left the U.S. far behind much of the rest of the world.
