The only concern I have about making Internet Service Providers a "Utility" is that it seems Utilities are immune from monopoly laws. For example, I live in a city with over a million people, but still only have one option for each electric, natural gas, water, etc. How will the new laws take this into consideration and ensure that we don't end up with a single ISP that can treat customers however they want, without fear of those customers being able to go to a competitor?

Three of the most common things I hear about Kaspersky:
1) Some reports state they believe your detection rates are so high due to you writing new malware yourself, and release it into the wild.
2) Some reports state your detection rates are higher than competitors because you reverse engineer their code, and then write malware they can't detect, and release it into the wild.
3) Some reports state you have a very high detection rate for malware, yet rate low against malware based out of Russia.

What are your thoughts on this, and do you think the Cold-War way of thinking has impacted your scrutiny?
