It would be a great story if anyone was talking about intentionally slowing things down, which they are not. They are talking about current standard plus more, not less.
The point of this, I think, is that 20 years ago 28.8k was the "current standard", and if this scheme had been implemented back then, that's what the "slow lane" would still be. It's not so much showing what the merely annoying immediate effects of this policy will be, but what the utterly catastrophic effects will be after a couple decades.
