ISPs fear being dumb pipes. They want "additional revenue channels" like selling profiles on their subscribers to advertisers, or better yet, vertically integrating with advertisers. Look at everything ISPs do and how badly they don't want to be water or power or sewer companies like they should be, especially given how few choices there are in a given physical location (for wired ISPs). With this FCC chair and political climate, however, I doubt we'll see change any time soon.
