"insignificant customer in a giant cloud" it makes me wonder if Netflix gets any "special deals" that any other corporation/consumer couldn't get, or if anything has been done at the hardware level specifically for Netflix. I.e., I wonder if they ended up building a data center that they would have needed anyway, but made it the "Netflix datacenter," even if no one else would ever know it.
