I think this discussion is premature. We can hypothesize any number of evils from the President Elect but until someone introduces a bill we can only tilt at windmills.
The president elect chose Mr Eisenach to help fill jobs in FCC and other telecom areas of govt.
Mr Eisenach is a regular "expert witness" hired by Telus in Canada at CRTC hearing. In last week's CRTC hearing on net neutrality, he held his very standard pro-incumbent stance against it. And the same arguments will be used to convicne the USA to drop net neutrality to help foster "dynamic competition" (euphemism for "unregulated duopoly").
It is a given that discussion on banning zero rating of content in USA will not happen.
It is highly possible that Title II reclassification of ISPs will be revoked.
Ted Cruz tried to block the IANA re-organisation.
So the direction of where things will be going is fairly clear.
AT&T announced zero rated video (aka T0-Mobile with throttling) just after the election so they are quite confident this won't be blocked by FCC. (although merger with Time Warner may be blocked).
