Netflix and Comcast Ink Deal to Make Streaming Service Available Through Cable Platform
On July 5, INCOMPAS member Netflix and Comcast announced a deal to make the nation's leading streaming service available through the cable company's video navigation platform.

In response, INCOMPAS CEO Chip Pickering, said in a statement that "from open internet to interconnection policies, we advocated for a foundation that enables over-the-top content and traditional video to grow together, rather than apart. These smart policies, led and adopted by the FCC, have been hard fought victories that have knocked down many walls and are good for competition, consumers and free markets. Consumers are hungry for new content and fresh creative voices. Netflix is a trailblazer that has opened doors to other streamers, and we encourage and support policies that help make search, discovery and access to all over-the-top content easier."
