Also Netflix already pays for it's bandwidth.
And Netflix is getting the bandwidth it paid for.
But if they want to see their customers happy with "Super" HD, they're going to have to buy some
more bandwidth. Evidently, they figured out that last-mile caching is the optimum way to go given the effects of Network Neutrality.
Time Warner is probably willing to go along and allow Netflix to pay to place their caches, but I don't think they're appreciative of Netflix' publicity stunts.
Apparently you don't quite realize how bandwidth works for non-residential customers.
