Netflix Says It Really Didn't Want to Cut That Traffic Deal With Comcast

   "In the essay, which the company has also filed with the Federal
    Communications Commission as that agency prepares to create new net
    neutrality regulations, Hastings says that "interconnection" deals,
    like the one he signed last month, shouldn't be necessary to ensure
    that his stuff - or anyone else's - gets to broadband customers.
    Hastings's essay also spells out the fact that his company is now
    paying Comcast directly to connect with its pipes - something people
    at both companies acknowledged privately but wouldn't say out loud
    last month."
