I worry that the rules will forbid ISPs from having explicit whitelists/blacklists, but will do nothing to prevent them from having undersized and saturated transit links then demand payment for peering with content providers like Netflix.
What would happen if consumer ISPs were required, for each customer, to choose a single point (at the metro level, probably) where they are required to peer openly? That allow all Netflix-like companies access to customers, but since it's a point local to the customer, would not impose any long-distance bandwidth requirement on the ISP.
