Sorry SK Broadband but Netflix is already paying for its traffic. Just because your business model is based on your customers not using their connection is not anybody else's problem.
Yeah, that's what I don't understand about companies wanting to be paid for where the data comes from. I pay my ISP for access to the internet; why does the location that data come from matter? I PAID for bandwidth and possibly a data cap depending on where I live. Bandwidth I can't exceed and the data cap I get charged if I do exceed. I don't see this as Netflix's issue in any way.
It's the users using that traffic, not Netflix. The users are streaming Netflix content. Why should Netflix or anyone get penalized just because they are popular? If the network suffers because your users are streaming a lot of content, then fix your network or let your users suffer due to your incompetence and reimburse them for lack of service.
Netflix should soft-geoblock all SK addresses and only allow them to view videos at 480p and no higher until the country is satisfied that bandwidth requirements have been reined in. If they have to pay for bandwidth on the client end, then they have the right to control their own expenses by rationing that bandwidth out.

Don't ISPs charge their customer for the bandwidth they use? The bill goes to the user not the service provider.
Fuck ISPs that want to get paid on both ends.
