The whole concept of "sending party network pays" is just an elaborate wordplay. Relay-switched telecommunications networks are inherently symmetric. The concept of a "sending" party is meaningless; the originating party pays. This makes a lot of sense, since the originating party is the one in a position to decide whether to place the call and therefore should bear the cost.
By renaming the originating party to the "sending" party, they can redefine YouTube/NetFlix/whoever as the "sending" party even though the user is the originating party. Thus they attempt to justify denying the user the service which they already have paid for unless they receive the appropriate kickbacks^W "fees" from whoever is serving the data.
