I know that level3 was making a stink about having to pay for more ports, whatever that is, to act like a CDN for netflix streaming content...to comcast subscribers but this cost was relatively low....they just didn't like the precedent.
netflix has to pay for the dvds only once...then can rent them out as much as they want. for the digital streaming library they need to pay a fee for the rights, which last the length on the contract.
