In terms of bandwidth? I actually kind of doubt it. Netflix sees tremendous primetime usage, but Google's bandwidth usage is likely to be substantial throughout the entire day, and it's global, whereas Netflix tends to be much more regional. In terms of financial resources? Not even close. Google utterly dwarfs them in terms of capability to build out and maintain networks. I would love some info on CDN vs transit pricing. In particular, it seems somewhat apples-to-oranges, since CDN pricing is generally per GB delivered, whereas transit pricing is generally per Mbit of capacity. You can approximate a conversion between the two, but you'd have to be careful when comparing them that the comparison is valid.
