I just read that Netflix has struck a deal with Comcast to pay for access to Comcast's broadband network.

There have been arguments between ISPs and Netflix because supposedly during peak hours 30% of all internet traffic is Netflix streaming. Verizon has throttled Netflix. So Netflix is now going to pay for fast access on Comcast's network.

Is this the beginning of the end of net neutrality or just one big company paying another for a little better service?
