I think this deal benefits consumers as long as it doesn't go so far as to create a so called paid fast lane for certain web sites at the expense of others. I mean Netflix is such a huge suck of bandwidth they need the speed bost to offer a better product but many other non video intensive sites do not. I think it's a good idea from Netflix's perspective, they had to have been thinking about the issue of content delivery for a long time until now. I guess what I'm saying is if this is just a solution for sites that need to transmit huge amounts of data no one is really losing here.
