Given that the FCC only recently lost a court case about its authority to preempt state laws banning muni broadband, how would this situation be any different?
I tend to agree that the FCC probably won't be able to ban states from enacting their own form of net neutrality, but I've seen the courts side with business interests with weak arguments more times than I'd like.

In what way did Net Neutrality prevent people from starting an ISP? Please be specific.

Small internet services were being shut out due to the Title II regulations.

I would suggest you read what Mr Pai said. He went into this subject. https://www.recode.net/2017/12/14/16777356/full-transcript-a... Small internet services were being shut out due to the Title II regulations.
