This is basically a giant fuck you to the whole Comcast/Time-Warner/net neutrality issue.

  and by giving away for free the most expensive part of hosting - power - for the folks colo'ing with them, it is almost free for netflix and others to do this. it makes the offering something that other ISPs won't be able to compete with easily if at all.

    At Netflix's scale I'm almost certain that paying for the space and power would still be much cheaper than having to pay direct bandwidth costs / external CDN costs. I wonder how they decide who gets to put a server in there for free, I always thought it was just a matter of money.
