"why does Verizon have to subsidize their costs of business?" Because I, a Verizon customer, have paid to access Netflix. I pay monthly for bandwidth to use as I see fit. It doesn't matter if all of the customers are using their bandwidth to go to one source. It doesn't matter: it's our bandwidth to use how we see fit. It is Verizon's responsibility to provide us with the service that we are paying for. They advertise a service, they market this service, and they charge us for the service: but then fail to deliver on their promises because they're charging someone else too? They sell us capped packages and tell us we have a set amount of data. We cannot exceed the data, because the infrastructure can't take it and we have to pay for our usage. We have to pay for our demand, that's the point of caps. Make the users pay for using. That to me implies that we are paying for a set amount of data! That we are paying for it, not anyone else. We pay for the upgrades that are necessary to deliver data to our homes. That is the point of a subscription. This is like saying: all of the telephone customers are calling Pizza Hut, so Pizza Hut needs to pay the phone company to upgrade the switches at the Phone Company. What??? We've already paid for the infrastructure required to deliver the data we're paying for.
