Yeah, Crovitz is a dummy and spreading misinformation.
But placing the internet under the regulatory umbrella of the Communications Act does give the government power over ISPs and the internet that previously didn't exist. The current rules more than likely won't have anything problematic, and net neutrality is probably for the best, but who knows what some future bureaucrat will push for in the future using this as the framework (but that's a slippery slope and it's a small worry compared to current problems).
