Re: S.Korea broadband firm sues Netflix after traffic surge

I’m not sure I disagree, but let throw in a point of consideration. Historically, as you note, the caller pays the 
toll. However, the caller also CHOSE to call, even though the called party might find the call irritating. With a CDN, 
the network is out there hoping to be called, and the user makes that choice, “calling” the CDN. Could it not be 
accurately said that the user originated the “call”?
