> Netflix said it will review SK Broadband's claim, and seek dialogue and explore ways in the meantime to work with SK Broadband to ensure customers are not affected.

In other words, they will ship some Open Connect Appliance boxes to the ISP.

And that’s nice for everyone.

Some think it’s unfair that big players like Netflix can do so. But I think them doing that is far far better than the idea of ISPs charging content providers for the bandwidth.

Like other said, the customers of the ISPs are already paying for the bandwidth. Having the ISPs charging Netflix for the bandwidth too, that’s no bueno.
