I read that too.

It is a cost transfer -- revenue away from the internet carriers. Level3, Cogent and other internet carrier networks are getting the squeeze. Netflix is 30% of all internet bandwidth in the USA. Comcast <=> Netflix 10% of all internet bandwidth?

This arrangement may snowball (or better said, cascade) to other ISPs to retain customers and be competitive with Comcast ...

This revenue transfer may effect the rates datacenters pay to carriers and in the end result: higher server hosting costs to domains.
