It's going to be very rare for their to be both only one ISP and no other ISPs able to be motivated to be present.

Yeahbut, for the last mile that network is often a monopoly or maybe a
duopoly if you're lucky. If streaming provider 1 pays ISP to give
priority over streaming provider 2 -- maybe by severely rate limiting
provider 2 -- the people who get screwed are end users without a way to
vote with their feet. That sort of monopolistic behavior is bad for end
users. Mostly I want ISP's to be dumb bit providers and stay out of
shady deals that enrich ISP's at my expense. And if it takes regulation
to do that, bring it.
