The quoted AT&T piece is quite interesting: http://www.attpublicpolicy.com/consumers-2/who-should-pay-for-netflix/ http://www.attpublicpolicy.com/consumers-2/who-should-pay-fo... Particularly because the comments on the AT&T page by its own customers completely demolish the argument. These ISPs are seriously arguing that the cost to upgrade their own networks to deliver the content their own customers are requesting should fall on the other side of the link. They're arguing this apparently even after Netflix/Akamai/etc have build CDNs to deliver the content right next to their subscribers. They're not even having to build a backbone.
