Netflix, Comcast Ink iNet Speed Deal

Netflix and Comcast have agreed to a multiyear deal aimed at improving the service's streaming experience for broadband customers, the companies said in a joint statement on Sunday.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The agreement comes just 10 days after Comcast unveiled a $45 billion deal to acquire Time Warner Cable, which is expected to draw opposition from competitors during the regulatory review process.
