I wonder what would happen if netflix called their bluff? People all of a sudden start to notice that House Of Cards plays more smoothly over their 4G cell connection than their expensive cable connection, and how does Time Warner explain that? |

That's not too likely. Most folks (unless their vaguely-savvy 4G-connection-having not-afraid-to-tether friends clue them in) will decide that Netflix sucks and stop right there.
As a datapoint, look at Obamacare. Alabama rejected any and all Federal premium assistance subsidies. This means that in Alabama, regardless of your ability to pay, or employment status, you pay full price. In California, low-income folks get reduced or totally subsidized premiums. The talk in Alabama is not about the insurance is gobs cheaper for poor people in California, it's about how Obamacare has made insurance so goddamn expensive for everyone.
People are soulcrushingly incurious.
