Brett Glass on Net Neutrality, Netflix Bandwidth Crisis
Wireless ISP owner Brett Glass appeared on "Security Now" to discuss the impact of Netflix on small internet providers. Glass argues that Netflix's massive bandwidth consumption forces ISPs to upgrade infrastructure, yet Netflix refuses to share the costs with smaller providers while paying larger ones like Comcast for direct peering. This "two-sided market" debate centers on whether content providers should compensate ISPs for the disproportionate resources their traffic consumes.
