I may just be ignorant here, but in what sense is Netflix an "Internet service provider?"

I think it's a misplaced modifier: "Comcast, as well as every other ISP for the last two decades, has a multiplicity of agreements just like the one Netflix approached Comcast to negotiate."
NetFlix argument: Comcast is using its bully position to extra a toll from service providers and service subscribers. A Comcast-TwC merger would make it worse for Netflix and everyone else.
Comcast argument: Netflix is wrong. We bully all the content providers, not just Netflix. So, er, yeah, they're wrong.
