For all the hand-wringing about ISPs creating an "internet fast lane", OpenConnect sure seems like a step in that direction. If Netflix is allowed to colocate their server in an ISP's facilities (effectively eliminating the cost of their egress bandwidth), how does that not give them an unfair advantage against other internet video operators who lack the leverage necessary to broker this kind of deal? OpenConnect isn't the first attempt at this sort of business model, either. Back in the 90s, Akami tried this same thing with their "FreeFlow ISP" service model - putting their servers in the ISP's point of presence in order to eliminate their bandwidth costs. Then, as now, major ISPs refused.
