Ted stevens' internet analogy impact?

[SangakaraMoory]

On the occasion of the 17th anniversary of Ted Stevens' memorable statement opposing network neutrality, can you elaborate on his description of the internet and its implications on the net neutrality debate? What was the significance of his analogy comparing the internet to "not a big truck" but rather "a series of tubes"? Furthermore, how did this statement impact the ongoing discourse on network neutrality and the regulation of the internet during that time and in subsequent years?
