I don't think that DNSSEC is going to be a sufficient hurdle: "When you first set up your Acme Internet Services account, you will need to set up your domain name servers correctly. This is a two step process which requires setting up your computer to use our DNS servers, and adding our security key as authorised on your computer". Most Internet users believe everything that their ISPs tell them about what is necessary to use their service, especially when it doesn't work until they do it, so getting users to add a new authorised root DNSSEC key is not going to be an impossible hurdle.

That's certainly possible, but I'd be surprised if it came to pass. Anyone who stopped by your house and used your wifi would need to take on your ISP keys, your DVD player would need to be able to accept them, etc. At this point the ad revenue wouldn't seem to make up for the bad user experience. It would be similar to an ISP requiring you to trust their root CA so they could MITM your SSL sessions. Sure, some enterprises do this through their management systems, but a big ISP that required this would likely get hit by a large amount of negative reactions.
