[AusNOG] Optus wants Netflix to pay up to ensure quality video streaming

[Beeson, Ayden]

Because Google / YouTube are too big to possibly make that request to without the reaction outweighing the benefit.

Google already make a pretty good show of which ISP's are bad for streaming when you get a slow connection, if an ISP was making a real point of it I'd imagine the reaction from Google would be far worse than just a "how slow is your ISP when" graph you get now.

They have been pretty vocal in the US as well advocating for net neutrality, I'm sure AU ISP's would love to steer clear of that happening here.

Then again, I'd have said the same about Netflix and yet here we are.

Thanks,
Ayden Beeson

Then why does Optus not ask Google to pay for YouTube QoS?
