Funny, the upwards of $50 to $200 I pay Comcast per month should go somewhat to that.
Besides, how many users are streaming 4K content, on what little 4K content Netflix has (I'm going to wager that we're looking at about 5% or less).
At 5mbps for 1080p, peak, now we're at 2,000 users, and $6/month.
Is it really that onerous for most users of Comcast to expect that $6 of their say $60/mo cable bill goes to Netflix?
I'm also not sure why you're populating 4 ports and then only talking about 1 10Gbps connection, when in reality (though I'm no expert), that's probably 4 10Gbps connections. Accounting for the cost of 4 populated running ports and then only talking about the capacity of 1 of those ports when calculating cost/megabit seems misleading.
