For those that don't understand, the cable companies want the consumer to pay a flat rate for internet access. Then, based on your consumption, you pay additional fees. Ex. If you just look at Facebook, then you don't pay any extra. Stream movies and football games, $20 extra a month. Then there is the 1% who do shady shite and pull major data and they would be able to stop them. The problem is each provider will be at liberty to establish their own baselines for what is charged. So if you have one option in your area for an ISP, too bad. Jokes on you.
ETA:
ISPs are also viciously fighting against being labeled a utility. If that happens, then their profit margins will be regulated, and they would be forced to have adequate infrastructure. That is not kosher when you are focused only on profit.
