Then doesn't this destroy the public/private network argument? Presumably you only need to use Comcast's "private" network to access their streaming site/service when using their ISP.
It's definitely an interesting question because technically there isn't a huge difference between streaming video from Netflix and watching on-demand programs through your cable box. They're both just streaming video.
So, the flipside of this argument is whether your regular cable programming should count against your bandwidth. In order for net neutrality to work property that might have to become the case one day because otherwise there's a lot of gray area.
