"You" being a hypothetical local network provider (potentially comcast, but more relevantly a small startup)

The impact being video streams from netflix/youtube killing your network. A better example is probably a rural WISP; huge bandwidth from tower to the 300-500 max users, but limited backhaul from the tower to your hundreds of miles away central location.

On 2), if you don't offer colocation to third parties, but only to your content partners, that works well IFF you can incent your end users to hit those servers preferentially. If that means offering iptv from them for $20/mo which doesn't come out of your bandwidth cap, and having a 200 GB/mo cap for other traffic, that is a win for everyone except netflix. If you aren't allowed to say "iptv from our servers is cap-free, everything else is capped", users hitting Netflix will continue to saturate the backhaul and no one will use the local media server iptv.

(I'm not necessarily saying net neutrality is a bad idea (or a good idea), but that there are specific user-beneficial cases which net neutrality hurts. I'm concerned that Comcast basically can rape everyone today with the laws that are in place, and is entirely likely to use net neutrality laws to do so as well -- they're a perfect example of an incumbent being so big that regulations just serve to entrench them. Competition is the answer, and net neutrality in some ways helps competition among pure-IP cloud-delivered services, but hurts competition among access providers.)
