It's not precondition to service. People will be able to get the service but only lower speeds. Faster connections only opting for the "promotion"

ISP will argue it is not a discount it's a promotion. They are two different things under the law
ISPs will just offer slower plans as default and promotions with faster connections for people that consent with data harvesting and monetization. As it's a promotion, regulators can't forbidden promotions. And as ISPs are an oligopoly at best, it will be easy to force most people to consent. Regulators must forbidden data harvesting and selling. But it will not happen because data is the new gold.
