    Saw that.

    I heard last weekend that Netflix peaks at 1/3 of US internet prime time traffic. At present growth rates they will soon reach 50%.

    And Netflix will pass the cost on to the consumer(Oh They are already doing that to all subscribers). There are 2 big cable Giants Comcast and Time Warner....Losing a big market area controlled by either one would hurt any business. Extortion is correct term used aedipuss!

    It's Level 3 that has to pay. They get it free, so they should pay for it too.
