> ISPs already allow businesses to co-locate servers, netflix could have done the same. But it'd have to at least pay colocation fees + bandwidth fees.

You are ignoring the fact it is offering this to save the ISPs money and improve the quality of the service.

Its cheaper for the ISPs to put an openconnect box inside their network in the LA area than it is to pay for more networking equipment.

Not if it means that they have to host everyone's content for free. And if you think they should only host the big guys for free, then how is that not discrimination?

You are making an invalid analogy, at best.

ISPs are expected to provide sufficient capacity at peering points with other networks to provide reasonable quality delivery to their customers.

How they handle that without demanding special privileges (as ISPs are in Netflix's case by holding traffic hostage until they are paid more money) is their buisness.
