> Netflix routes over existing common-carriage infrastructure, and so does not impose any costs on people who don't use Netflix I don’t think that’s strictly true, since the available bandwidth on that infrastructure is not infinite. That’s why Netflix supplies CDN appliances free of charge to ISPs - both to improve customer speeds, but also reduce bandwidth across the entire network.
