VZ has a right to run their network any way it sees fit. If they can make more profit from Netflix
with a pay-to-play agreement, that's good for the owners of VZ, and is incumbent on management
trying to maximize profit for the owners (which is every businesses' job #1.) However, somewhere,
it crosses the line of "reasonable" profit and is construed to hurt consumers, and the
Fed steps in to limit profiteering via regulation. Seeing as how the FCC already regulates VZ, VZ
is making the calculated risk that Netflix will blink before the FCC will act... "It's just
business."
And I think the outcome of that is that regulatory take-over of the internet
side of the house would be - since they already lose money on FIOS as it is -
they say "Screw it" and kill the service. "This is not profitable for us,
we're not going to do it... would you like DSL instead?"
what numbers are you using to show that FIOS is not profitable?
