None of them that aren't major transit providers are pullling the kind of bandwidth and asymmetry Netflix does.

Netflix's response to that is, if they used P2P and their customers uploaded as much as they downloaded, basically doubling their usage, would that be legitimate peering and therefore allow free interconnection?

Netflix is starting to talk more and more about a P2P model. It could be just a negotiating tactic, but the ISP's would be screwed if they actually implemented it.
