No network allows 100% utilization from all nodes at once, each peering arrangement only has a finite amount of bandwidth and Net Neutrality activists don't even want them to be able to do QoS.
If some peer is causing massive contention issues for your network and refuses to pay anything to help cover the costs you can
* Just have a shitty network until your customers leave you
* Go bankrupt by constantly buying millions of dollars worth of hardware to subsidise their business
* Increase prices
Consolidation will continue, and people will continue to whine that they have little or no choice in broadband provider after all the smaller providers go bust or get bought out for peanuts.
At least Netflix colocate their CDN in ISP networks but I bet most of the others do not.
