I believe this is exactly right. And all the things that gave networks monopoly power (like spectrum ownership) will become irrelevant. You can mark the day this happens when NetFlix starts offering a daily &#x27;news&#x27; update type program.<p>Of course most people see this already, and the extreme tactics around last mile broadband are <i>exactly</i> around this problem. Netflix can&#x27;t work if their packets can&#x27;t get to you, and the person who controls that last mile can hold their packets hostage (and has). If you want to poke a dragon some time, start advocating for equal access to broadband in your municipality :-).
