Imagine that you didn't have to peer to level 3 and be done, but instead had to have peering contracts with every single network that your packets passed through. Your CDN would have a process in place to integrate So rates through CDNs go through the roof (even more than they are for streamed video content already) because now they have to peer every end user ISP, and as a video streaming service, those costs are passed on to you. So something that was previously "free" (so as not to be a net neutrality violation) has the same effect of increasing costs and reducing competition. And then on the flip side, if a startup is trying to build a new (possibly better) CDN company, itstill has the same problem. You didn't remove the problem, you just moved it, and it's still just as unscalable.
