big companies using absurd amounts of bandwidth and flooring everyone else with the ISPs unable to do anything to ensure everything else is able to function in resource-limited situations

--- Quote ---A recent example: When Netflix launched in Brazil, it delivered 100 percent of traffic to that market directly from Open Connect boxes in Dallas and Miami. House of Cards got there all the same, but more slowly and at greater expense.
