Comcast Charges Netflix For Network Accessibility
Comcast has decided to charge Netflix’s content provider, Level 3, for network accessibility. Net neutrality advocates are very worried about this move. Netflix now has to pay a “traffic toll” to Comcast. This throws into question the argument that the market can remain neutral on its own. The Federal Communications Commission has said that they might take a vote on net neutrality. This is nevertheless under question, though, as it is just a rumor.
Comcast cost going to Netflix
Comcast is a fairly well known media business. Television, telephone services and internet are all provided by the company. An on-demand and pay-per-view online film service is used by Comcast too. Level 3 is a content-delivery network that is working with Netflix to deliver their streaming content to your computer. Comcast has decided to charge Level 3, and therefore Netflix, a “recurring fee in exchange for allowing Netflix streaming media … to flow unfettered.” Netflix could have to pay for this for Comcast customers. Otherwise, the service can be unavailable.
Netflix and Comcast experiencing issues with net neutrality
Net neutrality has to do with the internet traffic. It is all treated equally with this. Earlier this year, Comcast was sanctioned by the Federal Communications Commission for “throttling,” or slowing down, traffic to file-sharing service BitTorrent. Comcast fought back against the sanction, saying there is no rule or law that states the business has to treat web traffic equally. A fee is being charged for Level 3 due to all the strains on the network from the Netflix streaming. This is what Comcast says. Opponents are saying Netflix has to pay the fee because their service competes with Comcast’s own content streaming network.
Debate from net neutrality
Those for net neutrality suggest that there is a good example of why net neutrality is essential. The Comcast/Netflix fee shows the importance. Several say that traffic on the internet should be treated the very same. None of it’s better or worse. Large internet providers, for instance Verizon, AT&T, and Comcast say that broadband and internet providers ought to be able to make their own internet content deals, much like cable television functions. What is your opinion? Should the FCC vote for net neutrality, or ought to companies be able to self-regulate?
