If it passes, it basically gives ISPs the right to charge premiums/have "DLC" for the internet, along with blackmail website owners. I.e. the isp can charge the user $10 a month extra to have the "best access" to facebook and twitter, another $10 on top of that for youtube, another 10 a month for gaming servers like blizzard, etc They could also charge companies fees to provide their users the "best access", i.e. a news site having its speed artificially lowered if that site doesnt pay the specific isp a monthly fee, making the experience shit for the users There is no benefit to this over the current net neutral system. Speeds will be lowered for those who dont pay, the speeds wont be increased for those who do pay.
