Not really

If the law is inacted (regulation) the issues I mentioned will come about.

Does a network have the right to play favorites. I think so. But only to protect their customers experience. With this law, you could not even throttle down or shut off a threat. Do you get a court order for approval or let everyone on your network deal with it. What if a service uses multiple streams for better performance and bogs down your pipe provider's servers.

Besides I thought restricting the competition was illegal anyway coming under "Restraint of Trade". It is also bad business practice. You will lose customers. I am the type of guy that will pay a little more to stick it to you. Also how would you monitor it legally? A packet meter for everyone out there. If you have the gov't monitoring this, then there are privacy issues. More of those issues you don't want to here about.

Screw this law. It will bring more harm than the current problem.
