If this wasn't Verizon crying about Netflix, but was podunk ISP in

I would say that *IF* I was getting revenue from that ISP's clients,
and if that revenue was critical to my survival (which - for Netflix,
protip: it is), I'd seriously consider it, yes.
protip: any website that charges subscription fees falls in this
category.
It could also be argued that advertising supported sites also fall in
this category (they don't get revenue directly from the users, but if
the users don't visit the site and download the advertising they don't
get paid and will not survive)
so, what's left of the Internet after you eliminate anything that gets
revenue based on it's users?
