So it begins. The end of the neutral internet. I am already paying Comcast for access to the internet! Why does Netflix have to pay on top it? That said, I have Netflix and Comcast and I have never experienced any issues. Edit: Actually I realize, this is an agreement to allow Netflix to colocate some of their servers at Comcast hubs. So it is not actually that bad.

It's only a problem for Americans, not the entire Internet.

> The end of the neutral internet. "Neutral" is a vague term that in this circumstance conveys no actual meaning. Settlement free peering is the exception, not the rule. Almost everyone pays for access to the Internet, whether it's buying transit or peering with settlement. Nothing new to see here, move along.
