> This is exactly how peering and transit setups work across ISPs. The burden is far lower than you describe. Only it's not. If you need Internet transit, all you have to do is buy transit from two to three transit providers and you are all set. You'll get as big and as fast pipes as you like and at a price cheaper than doing it yourself. There is no need to make bespoke deals with 200 ISPs are there would be if everybody started with this BingeOn crap. > If you're a video streaming startup, you're not going to be serving content to ISPs. Your CDN is. Only if you are made out of money and/or don't know what you are doing. > If you're attempting to service content directly from your own servers, you're either enormous, or stupid. Neither enormous not stupid, just competent. You on the other hand have obviously never done video streaming and don't know what you are talking about.
