No. If the ISP is owned by or owns a competing media outlet and they want that media outlet to outperform the media outlet you’re using what would stop them from throttling that media outlet? If you live in an area wherenyou have little or no choice in ISP what’s the downside for the ISP?

There is a difference between regulation and wholesale take over of the Internet by the govt. what you described has nothing to do with what is being discussed.
