100% wrong, you dont understand.
This could affect worldwide net connectivity from regions of the US. Where the webmaster lives makes no difference.
Here's an example.
Lets say 15 million people in New York state use an ISP that is partnered with Yahoo SE instead of Google. For them, the only SE that functions properly without a proxy is Yahoo. Every advertiser who uses Google Adwords is now 15 million surfers short. It does not matter if the webmaster lives in Europe. If they want those 15 million surfers, they must now tailor their advertising or lose business.
Or lets say an ISP decides to block anything Adult in nature to any of it's clients. They'll be allowed to. It's not a free speech violation or anyting else, it's their business, they're allowed to decide, so they do. Again, it doesnt matter where the webmaster lives does it? It's an issue of surfers being able to SURF where they want to.
Those are the sorts of things that could be at issue. So really, you should be lobbying all USA webmasters to click that link, send that letter to preserve Net Neutrality if you're a webmaster anywhere in the world.
