All I'm saying is at the moment, there is no empirical information to suggest that Netflix will break what's left of the Internet. Nor is there any empirical information suggesting that singling them out will help keep it going.
My remarks weren't about Netflix or any other particular service. (FWIW, I agree with you on both quoted points about the lack of evidence. Maybe it'll arrive. Maybe it won't.) I was trying to speak, perhaps unsuccessfully, in broader terms about trying to best position ourselves for challenges that we may not see coming despite the aggregated millenia of expertise here. I think at this particular point in time we need to be ready for anything, for a very nebulous and possibly quite surprising value of "anything". ---rsk
