> I want to send you XX mbps and you want to receive it. You pay Comcast. Am I now entitled to a free connection? Yes, provided you deliver it to the designated IX for my location and pay whatever applicable meet-me-room fees. Realistically only CDNs are going to do that for the O(100s) of locations in the country. The alternative is to "negotiate" with Comcast.

They know how much bandwidth the average Netflix customer uses. A peer connection in the same city as the subscriber is literally the cheapest traffic for Comcast's network to handle. If their rates don't cover bandwidth to that, they should raise their rates.
