I don't think anybody could really argue against the fact that perhaps it might be reasonable that Netflix, which accounted for a disproportionately huge amount of bandwidth, should pay some for bandwidth.

Netflix definitely already pays for bandwidth. So does the end-user, who is probably paying too much already because yay, near monopolies!

I did literally think that Netflix still had to pay for whatever access they were paying before plus the Comcast stuff, so thanks for clearing that up.
