Your question is hard to answer because you ask whether plans might be
impacted; since plans can be impacted by the whims of planners, the answer
can only be given probabilistically. A better question might have been to
ask if the cost or performance of LODLAM will be impacted, and if so, for
whom.

However the question was asked, so I will enter TA mode and give you some
lab problems that will help you answer the assignment.

1) Postulate causal mechanisms under which the utility to different agents
of implementing library linked data plans would change under proposed FCC
rules. For each agent and mechanism, state the expected sign and
(qualitative) magnitude of the effect.

2) Under the assumptions of rational choice theory, what would have to be
true for the answer to be yes? If some classes of agent would change their
plans, and others would not, explain.

3) Repeat under bounded rationality. Under what assumed bounds do the
results differ from above?
