So if they’re going to impose state-level regulations on entities which operate on a national and, in most cases, international basis, that means that those providers and associated entities are going to need to set up an entirely separate service structure for users inside that one state
The easiest, least complicated solution for internet providers is to simply apply California rules nationwide - thus bringing it back for all of us, which is what all big companies do when there is some California regulation, like air pollution - the auto makers just apply that rule to all products - its cheaper.
In this case, nationwide application of California rules is far cheaper than setting up an expensive structure just for California and then getting hit by Californians and the State for unfair business practices when they (the providers) have to charge California customers more.

Yes, this is a danger. It’s why Trump hasn’t rolled back the insane CAFE changes Obongo tossed in at the end. CA has already said they were going to fight to enforce the standards even if Trump relaxes them. At some point the Nation is going to have do something about Ca holding the country hostage with this crap.
They tried that with egg farming.
