Comcast builds CDN to charge for video delivery

(Ars Technica): http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/05/its-not-a-fast-lane-but-comcast-built-a-cdn-to-charge-for-video-delivery/

    "Like with all these issues, the question is whether Comcast is
     abusing its market power and charging other networks for access to its
     customers," Public Knowledge Senior Staff Attorney John Bergmayer told
     Ars. "If it is, it doesn't matter whether the interconnection is
     called a 'CDN,' 'peering,' 'transit,' or whatever. There's nothing
     inherently wrong with an ISP running its own CDN, but with Comcast
     it's all about the long game."
