Down vote all you want, but let&#x27;s be honest. We here are nerds. We know the fundamentals of how the Internet works.<p>And cost occurs somewhere. This ain&#x27;t all for free. There are electricity bills to pay, bandwidth with 3rd parties to pay for, and blades to physically source.<p>Video on demand is damn resource intensive. This isn&#x27;t about delivering bytes which UTF-16 decoded speak about about a government. This isn&#x27;t about delivering bytes which primarily educate. this is about Netflix n&#x27; Chill. It&#x27;s about watching Modern Family on the commute home, and consumers loving it.<p>A lot of the cost for this love, especially in mobile, is paid for by the ISPs. They have to physically deliver this traffic to your device via nodes for $19.99 a month. And damn them if a loading spinner appears. &quot;My Internets rubbish...I&#x27;m gonna switch to Acme Internet...they have free Netflix streaming.&quot;<p>So let&#x27;s not lose focus: all software we write is for the end consumer...we need to create great, appreciated experiences for our users, otherwise they just unsubscribe.<p>T-Mobile is doing just that. This isn&#x27;t a philisophical debate. It&#x27;s about providing end users what they want. And they want Netflix on their mobile without costing them more. And lambasting T-Mobile for doing such is missing the entire constitution of the Internet.<p>Let them eat cake!
