More then website blocking I've been wondering what this means for spam prevention?

That's a pretty interesting thought, and it is pretty well addressed by paragraphs 376, 377, and 378. Basically, the FCC found that spam blocking is a separate add-on information service. It may be that the consumer now must opt-in to that service after clear disclosure of what the service entails. The FCC even found that DNS is not an information service (paragraphs 366-371), and the argument is compelling. This Commission is not technically illiterate, that's for sure, whether you agree with the R&O or not.
