If you are big enough, at some point it doesn't make sense to pay people to be your CDN.

True. This has to do more with knowing and understanding (and being able to control) your traffic and content patterns rather than simply being big. When part of your business is making recommendations to people on what they should watch (listen to) next, content propagation and pre-caching is a no-brainer.

Expect a NetFlix competitor, and a TV competitor.

...then expect Netflix-like problems with big ISPs?
