We tried Comcast wouldn't peer with us because they considered us a 
compeititor.

Seriously this has nothing to do with L3 but more with Netflix...it's 
clear that the Netflix business model is eating into Comcast VoD 
business and so they are strong arming other providers to affect 
Netflix's business model. But as others have stated what would happen if 
Comcast starts coming after every service provider's hosting services 
that Comcast doesn't like?
