Any other websites you would have to pay for. Guess what? No one is going to pay more to visit your porn site(s)! Traffic will be cut to 1/100th of what you have now. You will be put out of business. Don't cry when it's too late.
Most websites would disappear. Some might survive like ESPN and CNN which are site that are basically there as a compliment to their respective TV channels, but most sites are dependent on traffic to sell advertising and traffic in general will go down so most websites will disappear as well.

I don't think something like this will happen any time soon.
