Friday was a day of celebration for net neutrality proponents, as California’s legislature approved a bill that, once passed into law, is widely seen as the strongest protection in the country. The bill, SB822, not only restores the net neutrality rules that were put into place by former President Barack Obama, but goes even to ban internet service providers from practices like throttling in favor of select content and zero-rating services.

Also banned is zero-rating, or when ISPs offer free data, but only for the use of specific apps or services, in turn favoring certain companies over others. |
You don't seem to understand what net neutrality is.
Right now with the way the laws are, one company (YouTube) might go to an ISP (AT&T) and make a deal with them where they pay $100 million a year to have no data caps on their product and ask them to throttle other similar products like Netflix, Hulu, Sling, or Amazon Prime. Meaning.... If you use that ISP and you use Netflix to stream movies, you might not be able to because that ISP prefers YouTube over Netflix.
No one is going to pay more to use one project. In fact, just the opposite - this protect us from an ISP saying "You use Hulu and we throttle Hulu users, so if you want to use Hulu you have to pay us extra".
