Generally, small ISPs are also against the net neutrality rules. And its not because they want to block the Daily Kos.
Its because they can be a source of data mining and get paid for it, which helps them stay profitable since they are typically building in areas that are not easy to justify ROI of very expensive infrastructure to deploy.
