Those are not the ISP's users, and the ISP has already been paid for the traffic going there.

- benlorenzetti 9y agoActually this is a good thread of thought that I need to think about more. My first inclination is that an ISP is like the taxman. If and end user transacts with netflix, then a tax is collected by the entity that provided the facilitating infrastructure. The tax is on the economic transaction, not one party xor the other. Just as government funds roads by a variety of taxes on different entities, individuals and companies.
