Netflix Throttles Its Videos on AT&T, Verizon Networks (wsj.com)

I'm with Netflix on this one, I think people would be far more pissed to see a $500 bill from AT&T or Verizon... I'm still angry about an AT&T billing error from 15 years ago, that I wouldn't consider them again to this day... I can only imagine what they'd do to someone going over their cap... same for Verizon.

Beyond that, I don't need 1080p on a 4-6" screen. That said, I think Netflix should probably mention that they have detected a mobile device on CARRIER_NAME and are throttling to protect their bandwidth cap.
