I think the high-demand "premium" channel is the best - simply because there is no limited supply.

I used the bridge metaphor for a while, but unlike bridges there is no maintenance required from increased usage or traffic jam generated from high traffic to netflix or google.

Of course there is. Bandwidth isn't infinite, there's certainly congestion and maintenance required to upkeep and upgrade routers and cables.

yes but that is from general use, not tied to specific websites.

If total traffic increases those costs go up, not if a higher percentage of users access specific sites.

That would be like charging trucks more to cross a certain bridge because there are more cars on the freeway two towns over.
