Yes. Based on how bit traffic is moved regardless of who moves it, once it's

Thing is, who makes money from these 30% being provided? Answer is,
everyone but the lowest in the chain of consumers.

Only if the costs are passed on down.  If they can't be (which seems
to be the case now) then whoever eats them loses.  That's more likely
to be the ISPs.
