Net Neutrality might end.

The order, if passed on December 14th during the FCC’s open hearing, would effectively abdicate the commission’s authority to regulate ISPs under Title II of the Communications Act, significantly curtailing oversight of broadband access.
Say goodbye to the internet as we know it if this passes.

CNN.money has some write ups, and CNN proper has a mention.
But you can't really expect much from a company owned by AT&T. Obviously, they'll want to capitalize on repeals, and if they haven't issued an outright order to downplay this, the news room is probably treading lightly to cover their arse.

Didn't Wikipedia and lots of other big sites do blackouts to protest this in the past?
There needs to be tons of blowback against this shit...

Hate it.
Comcast said they wouldn't throttle though. They wouldn't lie.
Net Neutrality died when Trump was elected. His dislike about it was one of the things he was pretty upfront about prior to the election, it was also clear that he didn't understand what it actually does, probably still doesn't.
It's gonna really hit those who have only one choice for ISP particularly hard. Their choice will be either get reamed by whoever their ISP is or just go without internet.

Trump's shown he has little to zero understanding of what he's talking about on many (most?) subjects. Apparently this was seen as a positive to his supporters/voters.
