Wow, so your claim is that Netflix is maliciously, and intentionally, offering high(er) definition content not to please its customers, but to spite ISPs?

And you're saying that with a straight face...

And wondering why people aren't taking you seriously?

Just like your argument that Netflix is 'pushing content to Verizon consumers', ignoring that 'Verizon consumers are requesting said content'.

Maybe one of the things Netflix could do to deal with the volume of data is let Verizon customers know that that their service is being degraded because of that volume...

Wait... I'm getting deja vu...



Maliciously? I haven't said. Intentionally? Yes.

I guess it's more of the, "added bonus" of further stressing ISP networks to further push the issue.

Like I've been saying, I'm offering no "ought" statements, only "is" statements[0].
