Comcast¹s position is that they could buy transit from some obscure networks who don¹t really have a viable transit offering, such as DT and China Telecom, and implement some convoluted load balancing mechanism to scale up traffic.

I¹m pretty sure I didn¹t say specifically that DT and China Telecom were options. I probably pointed out the lack of delivery problems prior to using delivery partners like Cogent (such as via Akamai or Limelight) and that delivery alternatives existed. But that¹s in the past - we¹re in a pretty good spot w/Netflix traffic right now, though we continue to add capacity as you¹d expect. Jason
