This is exactly what happened in the Netherlands.

Net neutrality wasn't particularly high up on the political agenda until the country's largest telco arrogantly announced their traffic filtering plans and started a public shitstorm.

Politicians may not give a flying fuck about net neutrality, but they have a good nose for popular measures that don't cost them anything. Pissing all over the already hated telco's party is an easy way to score points.
