Probably noone....... at least not without compromising and first
peering with Netflix.
It would be interesting if Google, Wikimedia, CBS/ABC, CNN, Walmart,
Espn, Salesforce, BoFa, Weather.com, Dropbox, Paypal, Netflix,
Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Yahoo, Ebay, Wordpress.com,
Pinterest, Instagram, Tumblr, Reddit, Forbes, Zillow, formed a
little club and said
"OK, Tier1.. providers.. we're not paying you guys for transit
anymore; your customers want our stuff and will consider their
internet service DOWN if they can't get it. You are going to pay us
for a fast lane to our content now. If you want it, please start
sending us your bids, now."
