Netflix accounts for 30-50% of traffic these days yet only now have they needed to cut out a low quality middle-man to provide their service. I doubt startups have anything to worry about. If you manage to become 50% of Internet traffic you can toss the biggest ISP in the US some money to stay in business surely.

- pcurve 13y agoYes, and I think Netflix already knows that's inevitable, hence their heavy investment in developing original content.
