On: AT&T Exec Calls Netflix’s Reed Hastings “Arrogant” For Net Neutrality Post

[jmvoodoo]

If Netflix really wanted to turn this around on AT&T, they would just have different prices based on how much each provider extorted from them. Comcast customers would pay more for Netflix than Cablevision customers. Netflix would pay the tax, then pass the cost onto the customer, but not onto each customer equally. It would then publish this data for all to see.

Haha this is an awesome last resort. I genuinely hope Net Neutrality wins, but if it doesn't this is a way to re-level the playing field.

This would definitely be interesting, but it would work a lot better if most people had more than one or two internet choices.

I've been told that credit card companies simply forbid this sort of thing as part of their contractual agreements with merchants. Comcast appears to have similar leverage, so I imagine they would do likewise.
