I guess that Conroy's hoping market forces mean ISPs just have to suck it up.

If it was up to me I'd explicitly put a fee on customers bills to remind them about the cost inflicted by the government for such a heinously stupid idea.   I might then donate that to a charity who actually helps create good outcomes for kids in danger possibly demonstrating with some media coverage about how misspent the money was.
