If it's good for the ISP, then Netflix shouldn't have to pay for it, which would make it okay, right?


"consideration of any kind" would likely include giving the ISP a free server.

For that matter, there's nothing wrong with a CDN giving an ISP money to host a server on their network, if the balance of costs between the CDN and the ISP works out that way. An early-stage CDN or site-specific CDN might well have to do that to get started.
