I understand why you are making the leap assuming zero-rated services would somehow be exempt from throttling, but that is outside the scope of zero-rating. In cases of throttling (cap thresholds, adverse network conditions, etc), all content (zero-rated or otherwise) should be throttled. If zero-rated services are exempt then that's a whole new kettle of fish. The idea of selective, named, service throttling vs. blanket throttling based on service type is surely bouncing around within network operator groups due to the Title II FCC vote, but that could apply whether content is zero-rated or not. Selective throttling != zero-rating.
