    I don't get it, are you guys in favour of comcast charging you more to build out the infrastructure to support netflix subscribers? shouldn't that cost be put back on netflix (and therfore its subscribers)?

    it should be noted that your 1Mb residential connection is really 1Mb/s peak, which is allocated based on stop/start downloading of webpages, and generally during at home time (not office hours). If all of a sudden everyone is streaming 1Mb/s consistently, the whole pricing model for the exisiting infrastructure goes out the door.

    • We're paying for the infrastructure regardless. Either through service fees or subsidies.IRNlun6
