I disagree with this theory.

If customers pay comcast for bytes then eventually the upstream (L3) will want some of that revenue.

What the upstream "wants" and what market forces will decide could be very different. And as customers "want" lower internet access costs, if Comcast can collect more money from upstreams then they can lower the rates for customers, gain more customers, and be in an even better position to squeeze money out of upstreams.
