Problem is that fewer and fewer companies control more and more of the internet services. ATT, Comcast, Verizon, Time Warner, and Google control almost all of the high-speed fiber optic in the country. Even worse, it's split up so that one or 2 of those companies essentially have control in a large geographical areas.
The door is open for any of those entities to restrict bandwidth/speed/data limits for any group they don't like. They can also auction speed/bandwidth to the highest bidder, or give huge discounts to the entities that use the most. Either way, it makes life harder for smaller companies and individuals.
Probably not much will change immediately. But within 5 years I feel certain the effects will be noticeable. Watch your bill go up if you have a smaller provider.
