That is a possibility, as Justice Scalia was the main dissenter in the Brand X case. But this would require overturning a 6-3 decision that only came down in 2005; not impossible, but yes, if both Roberts and Alito follow Scalia's reasoning, then a return to regulation could happen. Brand X actually involved cable modem access; the FCC imposed the rules deregulating the DSL providers after that ruling. Personally, I think deregulation would be a nightmare for the consumers and for webmasters and small companies; thats why I wanted to make people here aware of this.
