Netflix represents more than 20% of downstream Internet traffic during peak times in the U.S. -- and is heaviest in the primetime hours of 8 to 10 p.m., according to a new report from bandwidth management equipment vendor Sandvine.
ok-cleek

I could believe that. Is Netflix free-riding on the Internet backbone? Guess I will read the story and see if they talk about that.
17 million subscribers, each of whom are probably paying close to $50/month for internet access comes out to way, way over half a billion dollars per month. Not to mention whatever Netflix themselves are paying, which I assume is quite a bit.
Good point.
