If this goes through, which looks likely, American ISP's could divide the internet in "packages", instead of equal access to everything on the internet.
It will also enable ISP's to block websites, services,...

While disgusting, the above is specifically for mobile internet.
Something similar (but less offensive) happens in Belgium as well, with Proximus giving free access to a selected app. While it is in the advantage of the consumer, this is at its core, a violation of the Net Neutrality principle as well.
