Netflix Agrees to Pay Comcast to End Traffic Jam

"Netflix NFLX -0.63% Inc. has agreed to pay Comcast CMCSA -1.37% Corp.
to ensure Netflix movies and TV shows stream smoothly to Comcast
customers, a landmark agreement that could set a precedent for
Netflix's dealings with other broadband providers, people familiar
with the situation said. In exchange for payment, Netflix will get
direct access to Comcast's broadband network, the people said. The
multiyear deal comes just 10 days after Comcast agreed to buy Time
Warner Cable TWC -0.79% Inc., which if approved would establish
Comcast as by far the dominant provider of broadband in the U.S.,
serving 30 million households."
