Here's hoping they don't, to be honest. No matter how many people "want" it otherwise, the ISPs built those networks, invested billions of dollars in them, and nobody else other than their shareholders should have a say how traffic is managed on them.
Now, the counterargument usually goes "but there's no competition", to which I say "WHOSE FAULT IS THAT?", and point squarely at the government who mandates monopoly behavior, and who thinks "4G wireless" or "satellite service" is a legitimate "competition" for TWC 50x5 or FIOS. Break the monopolies, invest in getting some competition in there (to undo the damage of govt-granted monopolies for decades) and then let's see where we stand.
