This may actually backfire on Comcast/Cox/TimeWarner/etc's own online streaming services they will be competing with Netflix on. Netflix hopefully realizes other providers will come asking for tier access that is faster. So then taken further, when Cox wants to deliver content beyond just Cox customers they can't, they'll have to pay. So this will also probably lead to some mergers into even less providers. They have just locked provider based online streaming services into a worse off position in terms of cost to run. Hulu will also be caught in this since Comcast owns it. Netflix or independents that can get big enough and pay all the extortion fees will win. It is a whole new game, lots of toll roads.
