You don't create new networks, you have the gov/FCC require that the owners of current networks license the last mile connections to any and all other ISPs, opening up consumer choice in the last mile [1]. Your ISP giving you fast lane/slow lanes and you don't like it? Choose another. That last-mile monopoly really needs to get solved first, then we can re-evaluate after a couple years whether Title II reclassification is necessary.
See my response below - I'm all for this. That said, is that actually more or less difficult than declaring ISPs common-carriers? The latter seems much simpler than nationalizing the last mile.
