I'm not sure if that would be the most equitable solution either as what would prevent Netflix or YouTube from setting their servers up in your geographical region and consuming all your bandwidth for their own profit while only paying the same rate that you do? It could also be challenging for rural regions as they'll have a lot fewer people sharing the cost of the infrastructure over a large area.
