I think that the consumer and the providers should share costs equally. If Netflix is using half the bandwidth, they should pay a quarter of the costs and the consumers of Netflix should pay the other quarter. That's pretty sensible policy.
issue is netflix is offering to install CDn's in Companies hubs so that netflix can fix the bandwith issue that these isps dont want to and save some dough instead comcast/vz currently want the cdn's but they want to be payed as if there were a Backbone Provider Which should reclassify them as Backbone forcing them to be a Utility almost.
all i pay comcast for is to link me to the content at speeds i pay for Comcast most their costs is infrastructure cuz their agrements with level3\ etc is symbiotic issues have arose that either end doesnt want to add more links to each other the only ppl against it seem to be the isps the Providers are offering and even in some cases begging to take the switches and cables
what it comes down to is the ISPS are mad that Level 3 is sending more comcasts way then comcast sends level 3's way there was no issue when comcast sent more now since tables have turned they want a cut even though it costs them near nothing why their profits in broadband go up their currently salty cuz ppl are fed up with their bundle bullshit on the tv front and they want their pound of flesh
google fiber has no issue with it
nor does Sonic which has a even better offer for internet in the works
the isps want you to believe that their getting fucked over yet they still somehow turn a 99% profit on broadband and still keep telling us that we want the bundle
how is that SK japan etc etc can somehow provide 1gb internet for less then most ppl here pay just for basic dsl and in some cases 10gb in small part of SK
we threw money at isps's already in the telecom act to build out fiber they built some pocketed the rest there needs to be accountability
most ppl are stuck with broadband or shit
rural ur even more fucked your either payin 70 for dial up or 100 for satellite
the status quo needs to change
we invent the damn thing yet we somehow lagg behind the like of fucking ROMANIA, latvia
