I am sure that Netflix (or Google, or Amazon, or any other large website) is paying for their bandwidth.
Not really. Netflix had to start making some deals to pay but what they are paying and what the real charge should be is nothing.
If Netflix had to pass along that cost alone then we should be paying $30 or $40 a month to have it instead of $9.
That kind of real charge will destroy Netflix and every other streaming business.
Any monies being paid are more lip service and do not reflect the real cost of any streaming done.
