Do Netflix actually pay enough for using telcos DCs?

That's generally not how the business works any more. CDNs usually pay their costs for fibre and cache node(s) to eyeball networks. It saves $$$$$ for both parties. However small ISPs can be disadvantaged if they don't have enough customers or internal traffic to make it worthwhile for a CDN to show up.
