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.
