We tried Comcast wouldn't peer with us because they considered us a
compeititor.
Seriously this has nothing to do with L3 but more with Netflix...it's
clear that the Netflix business model is eating into Comcast VoD
business and so they are strong arming other providers to affect
Netflix's business model. But as others have stated what would happen if
Comcast starts coming after every service provider's hosting services
that Comcast doesn't like?
