"The free option is easy by only sending the program once to the caching server netflix save on their own transit costs. And it means that for popular programs there is less network congestion."
Yeah that's always been my understanding. Plus, if the content is being served direct from your ISP you're likely to see much faster and better quality service as an end user, which looks good for the end user. So both Netflix and the ISP get lower transit costs and the end user gets a better experience. A win, win, win for everyone.
