Scenarios don't allow you to make blaming statements. We don't actually know anything about the connection between Verizon and AWS, other than it's slow. Making statements like "they're demanding Netflix make it worth their while to upgrade the interconnects" is speaking for others based on a presumption you had. Saying they are 'desperate' makes them sound fearful. Verizon made $70B in gross profit last year. I can't see how they would be afraid of upgrading their network - it's part of the business.
