But the end of net neutrality is more about giving access to those that transmit high volumes of content to consumers a limit in the future.

So even if you do not currently have a lot of hits to your website or have a bunch of bandwidth getting to consumers, the future may have VR Content streaming, it might be hard for your customers to get that content without a bunch of lag unless you pay for higher volume access rates.

It's really about making money from the other side of the internet wire.
Content providers should be alarmed. If not, you just don't understand the motivation.

The next step for them is to make money from netflix, youtube, amazon prime and hulu.
If they get away with that, you are most likely the next on the list.
The cable co's bought all the movie houses (producers and holders) and netflix and prime decided to produce their own content. So this action is what they have left to make money on the competition they now have on their monopoly.

Bandwidth requirements always grow so, a cap on the line now may be acceptable, but we know it will grow larger and everyone will need to pay if they want their content unjittered and enjoyable to experience.

Think 4K and VR streams.

Many of those in the US do not have a understanding of those in the EU where you can get free to air satellite broadcasts. And those in the EU need to be aware we do not have that in the US. We pay dearly for it. Just like cable tv.

The EU has a much better regulatory arm and has not allowed what has happened in the US to happen over there.
