> There is nothing to stop, say Netflix, from investing in a dedicated network that will bypass the backbone and have local ISP connections to get stuff to the end users faster and more reliably, i.e. using the ISPs for the last mile. If they then choose to have a premium service using this backbone, but a standard service that uses the normal internet the whole way, that is up to them. They have to make it work. This is a self defeating strategy, as normal infrastructure upgrades will probably erode the difference.
