Comcast's Netflix Deal Could Open a New Front in Net Neutrality War
http://www.wired.com/2016/07/comcasts-netflix-deal-open-new-front-net-neutrality-war/
The longtime rivals recently confirmed that Comcast's X1
interactive television box will offer Netflix, obviating the
need for a smart TV or third-party device like a Roku or
Chromecast. The two companies said little more than the
combination arrives "later this year," and it remains to be
seen whether you'll pay a separate fee to use Netflix. The
answer almost certainly is yes. The bigger question is whether
you'll also need Comcast Internet service to watch Netflix
over X1--and, if so, whether watching Netflix will eat into
your Internet data plan.
