Well it's only in America, and the bulk of miners seem to be elsewhere.  Places like China, where the Internet is far less neutral than the US, large groups are still managing to mine.

In America though, I suspect it'll have little effect.  ISPs don't have much of an incentive to go against miners, and if they did, the ISP would still have to publicly state what they're intending to do, which would cause a lot of protest.

In the long run, it could affect pretty much anything that Americans do on the Internet, since they could make small changes and creep up on them a bit at a time.

I wonder. Could they technically and legally block cryptocurrency transactions? And most importantly, would it make economic sense to do so?

Just wanted to see if anyone thinks this is going to negatively impact their mining operation.

I understand that the usage of miners is pretty small overall, so I figured it was more a factor for a large scale opertion.
