In an organization as large as Verizon there are many reasons why a policy gets changed. I'm certain that there are product guys who were saying our customers want this. I'm sure there were marketing folks saying we can build a marketing campaign around it. I am equally certain that some there were some folks, perhaps lawyers, who said this gives us a better position to argue from if we need to against Netflix.
Interestingly enough, this seems to be coupled with a statement that Verizon will be deploying Netflix CDN boxes into their network: http://publicpolicy.verizon.com/blog/entry/level-3s-selective-amnesia-on-peering "Fortunately, Verizon and Netflix have found a way to avoid the congestion problems that Level 3 is creating by its refusal to find “alternative commercial terms.” We are working diligently on directly connecting Netflix content servers into Verizon’s network so that we both can keep the interests of our mutual customers paramount." Kudos to Netflix for getting Verizon to agree to host openconnect boxes internally! This beats the business plan I was formulating to sell $1/month VPN connections to Netflix users on Verizon to bypass the congested links. ^_^; Matt
