But if HTTP/2 requires TLS, then ISP can't read the traffic in any case right? I don't think parsing is a main concern here.
Also, If the Google.fr deal is anything similar to the Comcast-Netflix deal here in the United States, then it has nothing to do with protocols, TLS or even (by some definitions) net neutrality.
Basically, Comcast asked (and got!) money from Netflix to install (additional?) peering connections between Comcast and Netflix. Comcast doesn't even need to throttle packets deliberately (i.e. explicitly violate net neutrality) to ensure that its customers have a bad experience, the congestion at the then-existing peering points would have guaranteed that.
At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what protocol we use, if you have many many bits to deliver to lots of people on somebody else's network, that middleman who owns the destination network might price-gouge you.
