Imagine that you didn&#x27;t have to peer to level 3 and be done, but instead had to have peering contracts with every single network that your packets passed through.<p><i>Your CDN would have a process in place to integrate</i><p>So rates through CDNs go through the roof (even more than they are for streamed video content already) because now they have to peer every end user ISP, and as a video streaming service, those costs are passed on to you.  So something that was previously &quot;free&quot; (so as not to be a net neutrality violation) has the same effect of increasing costs and reducing competition.<p>And then on the flip side, if a startup is trying to build a new (possibly better) CDN company, itstill has the same problem.<p>You didn&#x27;t remove the problem, you just moved it, and it&#x27;s still just as unscalable.
