Last month Netflix decided it would pay off huge internet service providers like Comcast to make its service better for customers, but the popular streaming company isn't doing it quietly. In a measured and strongly worded article issued today, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings says that "net neutrality must be defended and strengthened," calling out giants like Comcast and Verizon for bad behavior.
"The essence of net neutrality is that ISPs such as AT&T and Comcast don't restrict, influence, or otherwise meddle with the choices consumers make," Hastings writes. "The traditional form of net neutrality which was recently overturned by a Verizon lawsuit is important, but insufficient. This week net neutrality isn't enough to protect an open, competitive internet; a stronger form of net neutrality is required."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is Netflix's first big statement on net neutrality following a January 14th ruling which effectively crippled the FCC's existing net neutrality rules. Since then, major ISPs have insisted that they will uphold the spirit of net neutrality, but their behavior has largely suggested otherwise. The dispute that has emerged with Netflix revolves around "peering" agreements between internet service providers and the networks on the edge of the consumer that connect them together across the country.
