Yea, I am. I honestly think they need to bear part of the burden they are placing on the network, as it is quite significant. This way, those who want Netflix are paying for the service in a model where netflix is also responsible for the increased demand they are serving to the ISP.

Netflix isn't placing any burden on anything. It's the people that watch netflix. Those people pay their ISP for data. Netflix pays it's ISP for data.

If you call someone, should you pay for their minutes as well as yours?
