not really.

Netflix is paying comcast to add more ports to the peering mesh where
Netflix's provider meets Comcast.  In addition, they may be now able to put
caches of netflix content inside the Comcast network, which in the past was
always denied, even tho it cost Comcast nothing and brings a better
experience to comcast customer.

This is similar to the Google Global cache that is shared at KIXP.
