Try to make a point about NetFlix using 30% of US bandwith during prime time hours. In your opinion is that a bad thing?
Of course it's not a bad thing. All I say is that they should pay for it.

its a free rider problem, and there are other ways to solve this issue.
Bandwidth caps being the easy solution. Its not really netflix that is the problem, instead its the users that LOVE its service and binge watch.
A much better solution is to pass the cost along directly to the consumer, since its their actions that supposedly are causing the problems (I don't believe it for a second tho), as opposed to passing the cost on to the company which passes it onto its customers.

Are you suggesting that Netflix doesn't pay their ISP ?
Or that Netflix subscribers don't pay their ISP?
