It wasn't fair. It favored some companies over others. It was crony capitalism at the highest level.
    This is why net neutrality was passed. Comcast started charging Netflix a fee to not throttle them. In 2013. Here is the WSJ story.

    Now it begins again.... Getting ready to pay more for content. Or I hope you like NBC universal programming.

    And your friend was not forced by Netflix and Hulu. He was forced to to continue to deliver the bandwidth he sold to his customers. We don't let the power company off the hook when they cut off your power because you use too much, and still charge you. Isp's shouldn't either.
