In an interview with USA Today, Comcast CEO Brian Roberts insists that net neutrality is good for both Comcast and its customers:

Roberts pushed back on reports of Comcast's recent deal with Netflix. The two companies announced last month that they would connect directly — instead of through a third party, which is how the companies had connected historically — in the hopes of boosting Netflix performance for Comcast subscribers.

The deal between the two companies was "misreported in the beginning," he said, and "really was not a change in how the Internet has performed."

Ultimately, the agreement benefits Netflix, Comcast and the consumers who subscribe, he said. "Their cost, I believe, at Netflix will be down and give a better experience to their consumers and to our consumers."
