The "net neutrality" debate and corresponding legislation is far from over. There have been many attempts by internet companies to limit or charge for extra bandwidth. With no control of the distribution mechanism for their streaming service Netflix is at the whim of these external factors.

I hope it doesn't happen, but I can see major showdowns between companies like Netflix and major ISPs over bandwidth consumption. Not to mention the fact that major studios over-estimate the value of their intellectual properties with respect to Netflix's steaming business model ...
Netflix streaming has already become the preeminent bandwidth hog.
