Doesn't make any sense

They have made billions upon billions while not double dipping and extorting content providers. Of course no one with a brain is going to buy their arguments that the status quo means the end of investment.

They can cry and moan until the cows come home but they're aren't going to leave billions on the table because they would rather have even more through double dipping.

If I read that correctly, you have that reversed. The content providers are doing the extorting and not the access providers.

How is google extorting money from the ISPs? How is Hulu or Netflix extorting money from the ISPs?

Subscribers already PAY for their data, regardless of where the data comes from.

Perhaps he is thinking of broadcasted video content (ABC/ESPN, Fox Sports, etc).
