Its not, that was kind of the point.  What you're pointing out is NOT what
I was saying is problematic.  I work with companies that get there content
from the coop or another aggregator every single day.

This is fine and common as dirt:

Video_content(from an aggregato or direct)--->Muni_operator-->End_user

What I think Jay and some others were suggesting is:

Video_content--->Muni_operator--->End_user AND/OR --->L1/L2
partner--->End_user

That last bit where the content is being delivered to the customer of
another operator that doesn't have a contract with either the content owner
or an aggregator isn't (IMO) possible today.
