I find it a bit offensive that this can be accurately viewed as a negotiation.
This is like demanding the supermarket buy your grocery delivery business a larger van when the toilet paper manufacturer starts selling larger packs.
It's arrogant, and violates the proper division of responsibilities. It only might work because of local monopolies. Netflix is already paying for traffic to Level3. ISPs need to upgrade their infrastructure and increase prices if it's too expensive.
- diminoten 12y agoL3 isn't the only content provider, and the 5 UNNAMED ISPs (Comcast isn't necessarily the culprit here) can still provide content to their customers. Netflix is free to hire one of the many CDNs which do play ball with these ISPs.
