WRT that "panoply of middle-man networks" ... it pretty much never works that way. Certainly not with a big player like Netflix, they're going to be buying from providers that peer with Verizon, vs. ones that have to pay transit fees to providers that then have peering with Verizon. The latter would make absolutely no sense in any way, technical or financial. They're also doing this in concert with AWS, right? Another huge player.
