Sorry, you are being duped. This action is about power grab and not anything good. It fixes a problem that has never existed and there is no reason to believe it will in the future. BTW, I am a daily user of the Internet since the 70's - long before the browser was invented. It's success has been mainly because innovation was allowed to happen without government. It will be a mess now. Best thing is smart people will get together and invent something else. It will take a few decades for this to happen on the scale of the internet. Good thing that innovation and technology is something the government does not understand and is not likely to keep up with. So it will be a while before the new thing gets messed up also. But, then, long after I am gone, smart people will do it again.
Do your homework and stop listening to people wining about a non problem and you will understand better. We are all for what the excuse is. It just is not happening. And technology, particularly a complex network, is all too much work for the uninformed Americans to take the time to actually understand what is really happening.
No question - Netflix will regret their part in this. Good thing is it will likely be tied up in the courts for a few years. Big providers have deeper pockets than even the government. Good thing.
If it does happen, you all will miss the thing you have known as the Internet.
