Netflix paying Comcast for smoother streaming →

Comcast:

Working collaboratively over many months, the companies have established a more direct connection between Netflix and Comcast, similar to other networks, that’s already delivering an even better user experience to consumers, while also allowing for future growth in Netflix traffic. Netflix receives no preferential network treatment under the multi-year agreement, terms of which are not being disclosed.

According to The Wall Street Journal, those terms include Netflix paying the ISP a big sack of money.

Don’t worry, though; I’m sure all of much smaller media outlets can afford the same treatment now that those bullshit net neutrality laws are gone.

Wait.
