This article assumes readers will have the background to understand all the jibberish it presents. Meanwhile, it does't paint anything close to a clear picture on the inside scoop of "How Netflix cam to pay Comcast for Internet traffic". That makes the article damn near worthless IMO

Perhaps the blog excerpted too little of the petition (it started at page 55, or PDF page 63). I recommend starting at section V.C on page 52, or PDF page 60 instead. I think the description of Comcast’s actions since 2009 paints a pretty damning picture of Comcast’s abuse of its monopoly on high-speed last-mile wire in many parts of the US. Or, read the entire petition, which is a good read; it’s 100 double-spaced pages. The PDF also includes other evidence: 22 pages of statement from Ken Florance, VP of Content Delivery (PDF page 110) and 100 pages from economist David Evans (PDF page 134).
