That's not what's going on. Netflix wants to plug a cable into Comcast's network so that you can receive the data quicker. This would save both Comcast and Netflix money because they don't have to pay another company's bandwidth fees. Regardless, Comcast wishes to charge for Netflix for the priviledge of connecting to their network. They want to charge Netflix access to Comcast's customers (you, the one already paying the big bucks for the service), not to plug a cable into a router.
