If Netflix really wanted to turn this around on AT&T, they would just have different prices based on how much each provider extorted from them. Comcast customers would pay more for Netflix than Cablevision customers. Netflix would pay the tax, then pass the cost onto the customer, but not onto each customer equally. It would then publish this data for all to see.

- xur17 13y agoThis would definitely be interesting, but it would work a lot better if most people had more than one or two internet choices.
