this will have the opposite effect of promoting competition. now telecoms will be able to prioritize network traffic - meaning if comcast decides that 986forum.com is pushing too much data through the network, they can charge you more for delivering the data. if you don't pay they can slow it down. in addition they can charge the owners of the website more money for delivering the content.
same with netflix, youtube, etc.
telecoms are oligopolies already to content providers and it costs millions to dig up the street and lay down new cables so new competitors already have a huge barrier to entry, keeping competition low.
the purpose of all of this?
to keep you from downloading movies from netflix and renting them from comcast instead...
