L3 is pushing to maintain its contract with Netflix. L3 is pushing, because L3 isn't the only CDN responsible for Netflix traffic. "Comcast" (it may not actually be Comcast and in fact I doubt it is given Netflix's recent agreement with Comcast) can just use Netflix's other CDNs, and traffic will continue to flow normally.
L3 is not necessary here, and everyone who's actually involved knows it, including L3.

Or are you arguing that an ISP should be allowed to restrict which services people are allowed to access depending on how much those services pay the ISP?
