Netflix has an open offer to move CDN servers deep into provider networks [1] to avoid peering congestion. This would put most of the Netflix traffic at the bottom right of Verizon's infographic. Why hasn't Verizon accepted this offer?

- nextweek2 12y agoYour comment is the most pragmatic thing I have read. The whole thing of ISP's complaining about Netflix to me is wrong, they are complaining about a peering agreement with a transit provider and just using Netflix as a name people will recognise. The truth is there are technical solutions to these problems but politics is taking over the issue.
