That's leads to a pretty simple conclusion, because Netflix doesn't push any data. I pull data from Netflix. I have already paid my ISP to pull data from anywhere I ask. If my ISP sits down at a negotiating table with Netflix and threatens to disrupt that, they should be laughed out of the room. "Pay me, or else I'm going to break my obligations to an unrelated third party." isn't a move that should have any respect.
- xwdv 5y agoWhat if the ISP holds a powerful monopoly in some regions? Should we still be laughing?
- rovr138 5y agoWe should be! But the problem is the people that could get affected by their actions until they stop.
- eximius 5y agoNo, you grab metaphorical pitchforks.
