You don’t criminalize behavior because it will happen, but because it could. Net neutrality prevents companies from doing harmful things, like installing data caps and providing preferential treatment to certain data. Those things don’t have to happen, and maybe aren’t happening because the companies think they’d get bad PR. But they could happen, and that’s why you regulate to prevent them. Perhaps the big kerfuffle was overblown, or perhaps it instead slowed down the plans that companies had (since it was now a provable PR nightmare post-kerfuffle). We don’t have enough data to decide that. We do know that companies are currently allowed to act in anti-consumer fashion.
