I'm pro Net Neutrality, I just think the argument about it often is inaccurate and takes the worst case scenario, telcos killing competitors and keeping consumers from watching what they want to watch, rather than the likely and already proven desire, telcos want to double dip. Killing competitors is messy business that could get laws changed in a way that is no longer in their favor. Why does AT&T care if you watch NetFlix or DirecTV if they get a cut of both?
Exactly. It's absurd to think things will change completely. It's not really double dipping imo. They laid the network, they offer their own email, their own videos on demand, etc.
If Netflix wants to use Cox's network and Cox has their own service to what Netflix offers, why is it absurd that Netflix gets to be used for free?
If you don't like the extra Cox is going to charge, you can steam it through Verizon. It's not that absurd.

They charge their customers to access NetFlix and then they charge NetFlix to access their customers who already paid to access NetFlix. How is that not double dipping?

The problem is Netflix doesn't want to use Cox's network Cox's customers want to use Netflix. If you wanted to charge your customers more to access certain high bandwidth services then maybe you should offer different speed tiers with data caps. Oh wait, they already do that.
I have no problem with the ISPs charging their customers more to access external content, I have a problem with them trying to hide the actual cost from the customer by strong arming NetFlix's ISP. If you want to charge $1 month for people to get full HD from NetFlix, do so, just tell your customer what you're doing instead of trying to steal it from them without them realizing it.

Netflix is not used for free.
I pay for Netflix, and Netflix pays its ISP for its bandwidth.
