Current Event #4

In this article its speaking about how Netflix is willing to pay Comcast and other services that will allow streaming to get faster.It also states that this has already started before this article has even came out. Many people are worried about if the price of streaming will get any higher not just for Netflix but for the other services as well.
It relates to most of our school because not only students but teachers use Netflix to watch movies for entertainment and learning purposes. I feel that this event could start a controversy about the prices that may rise because of them paying other companies that will help speed up streaming. It affects me in a way because I have a Netflix account and I wouldn't like getting charged more for streaming.
