Public backlash? Large ISPs are losing subscribers on their normally profitable video and voice packages. Most have a monopoly or duopoly on the data packages, but raising prices will bring more attention to their monopolistic ways, attention they will have to buy off with more and more bribes and lobbying which would also offset any profits.
Since they can't recover profits because of complaining customers and they can't lower profits because of complaining share holders they need to find alternative sources of revenue.
