Netflix and Comcast ink an agreement for better connection

Netflix and Comcast have inked an agreement that will provide Comcast’s broadband customers with a high-quality Netflix video experience for the upcoming year. 

Both the companies stated that they have established a more direct connection between Netflix and Comcast that helps better user experience to consumers. The announcement is evidence of a shift in the balance of power in favour of Internet access providers following a Court ruling in mid-January that eliminated net neutrality rules that prohibited Internet providers from prioritizing content.

Comcast’s new deal with Netflix is said to be similar to the types of interconnection agreements it has with other larger Internet partners, and clears the way for Netflix to connect to the Comcast network at various regional interconnection points around the country.
