Has any flipped this battle around? I like the idea that the networks want to be neutral. If this is good for the phone network, why not bring it up the stack to, say, the Netflix system. Why shouldn't Netflix give every video maker the exact same terms?

To clarify, you are asking whether anyone has considered introducing a telco-style 'common carriage' requirement for media companies; is that right?

Yes. Why not? If Netflix thinks it's so great for telcos, why shouldn't Netflix lead the way and show us how it's done? They can have an open system for everyone who wants a movie deal. Everyone gets the same terms. They can be paid per minute that someone watches.
