See it from a freedom perspective but do not forget the large economical impact of disruptive technologies. Medicine ad energy are industries that will also have to change eventually. It's not just the net.
Yes, it is their fiber and copper and wireless infrastructure. Yes their profits from ARPUs are ridiculously high compared to their hardware investments per connection.
The internet is a disruptive technology. It could bring down dozens of corporations on which the economy is based upon. Fear runs the show. Human fear from greedy top hat basterds and institutional or average investors.

The most successful home radio broadcasters in different parts of the world ended up becoming todays corporations. The spectrum at the time was a finite resource. Ham radio exists albeit with regulations. CB exists, but who really wants to hear everyone's rants at once
