It's quite common datacenter prices to incl. bandwidth and data.
Netflix/youtube cases it's the content providers that server the traffic, so most of it is generated by them. The client requests are tiny in comparison.
- Freestyler_3 5y agoLets say you have a website in datacenter A /You pay datacenter for bandwith etc. Person pulls your website /Person pays cablecompany Z for bandwith Now you have to pay Cablecompany Z for the data.
- xxs 5y agoBut that's not the case in the article "Netflix began using =SK's dedicated= line starting 2018 to deliver increasingly larger amounts of data-heavy, high-definition video content to viewers in Korea from servers in Japan and Hong Kong". Admittedly the article is light on the details, yet I'd presume the line has been created exclusively for Netflix, there is no info if there was an agreement between the parties. There is no reference to the Seoul District Court decision, either. "Internet"/data between major tube providers (ISP) is very different than paying cable company X for end user access. Some just have agreements to carry each other traffics and some pay to carry their traffic[0]: [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tier_1_network https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tier_1_network
