This should be interesting to see who wins. Although it is more like Comcast vs Level 3 but Netflix is the one caught in the cross fire. Seems Comcast wants to charge extreme prices to Level 3 for allowing customers to stream video through Level 3 from Netflix. Level 3 is saying that if Comcast is allowed to charge a "toll" then Netflix customers are going to pay the price in the end. This is an interesting time for this to rear it's ugly head with the world looking at going completely virtual with downloadable content and streaming video. If Comcast wins this fight then it could put an end to streaming video. Seeing as Comcast is one of the leading suppliers of internet that could seriously hurt a lot of companies such as Netflix, Sony, Microsoft etc.
 
Or, it could cause rivals to pop up and provide better services than Comcast at comparable prices. . .except that these cable companies seem as entrenched and monopolistic as utility companies in many places.
 
Netflix all the way. Only reason I have Comcast is for internet. I have the most basic of TV packages and simply use Netflix.

If Comcast wins you'll be paying to use Netflix because you have their internet service.
