At the ISPs expense, including connectivity to a peering point. Most
content providers pay Akamai, Netflix wants ISPs to pay them. Hmmm....
Now I write a check every month to both Verizon and Netflix - and
clearly it would be nice if some of that went to provisioning better
service between the two. But I can as easily point to Netflix, as to
Verizon, when it comes to which dollar stream should be going to bigger
(or more efficient) pipes.
