And yet in other countries, as TFA also points out, it is competition and NOT regulation which has delivered high speeds at low prices or 13 cents in Japan and 33 cents in France as opposed to $3 in the United States per million bits/second.
No, what got those inexpensive broadband speeds in places like Japan, South Korea, etc are huge government investments in infrastructure spending on getting a wide coverage for broadband. If such investments weren't ever made they wouldn't be as much ahead of the game as they are.
The House bill also calls for "open access." This phrase can include hugely controversial topics such as net neutrality, which in its most radical version would bar providers from charging different amounts for different kinds of broadband content. Now that video, conferencing and other heavy-bandwidth applications are growing in popularity, price needs to be one tool for allocating scarce resources. Analysts at Medley Global Advisors warn that if these provisions remain in the bill, "it will keep most broadband providers out of the applicant pool" for the funds intended specifically for them.

That's because they only have licenses to distribute that content within the US. To distribute it to people outside the US would be copyright infringement and would get their asses sued into the ground by the big media companies. That would definitely be a brilliant plan on their part.
But I guess that's only evil if you offer ISPs a group deal.
There's a big difference between voluntarily choosing to get a pay membership at a website, and having an involuntary fee hoisted on you for a paid membership that you neither want or use.
