It would be peering agreement if Amazon would be paying, because Amazon is providing the bandwidth to Netflix. What I suppose is that under this agreement, Netflix is not paying Amazon anymore outbound bandwidth to Comcast and as such pays it directly to Comcast.

EC2 is mostly only used for web hosting and other small infrastructure. Not the streaming parts, especially now that they are running their own CDN.

Not all of Netflix's infrastructure is on EC2. They have in house built stuff to deliver content at the speeds they need.
