> if Netflix is really the sole driver of Network upgrades, why does Verizon have to subsidize their costs of business? Verizon is paying to provide its own customers with what they want (speed that enables access to Netflix and other entertainment), not to subsidize Netflix. Netflix pays its for its own high-speed internet access already. Verizon offers high-speed access and then doesn't pay for it. Therein lies the conflict.
