It's hard to see a revolution when you're in the middle of it.

The magnitude of the change will necessarily cause a re-evaluation of the norms for interconnection, aggregation, content placement, and protocol design.
Richard, Before Netflix it was Bittorrent. Before Bittorrent it was Usenet. Before the Internet, history records no shortage of companies willing to falsely advertise a product that did less than was claimed. Nor is fraudulent double-billing a recent invention. There is nothing new under the sun, no matter how much you may protest otherwise, and every one of these eyeball networks sold products which, on paper, were consistent with the use of Netflix. Without requiring additional payment beyond the customers' subscriber fee. And continued selling the product as described, long beyond any reasonable doubt their customers expected it to work with Netflix. Right through this very minute and beyond.
