"Comcast and Netflix have reached an agreement to incorporate Netflix into X1, providing seamless access to the great content offered by both companies. We have much work to do before the service will be available to consumers later this year. After what seemed like cable providers agreeing to resist the influence of Netflix and other third-pary streaming, the companies issued a joint statement (via Recode) announcing the partnership: Netflix will be available directly through Comcast’s X1 Cable Box starting later this year, Comcast and Netflix announced Tuesday. However, the major providers, Comcast and Verizon, insist netflix pay for the interconnection. But now, Netflix’s cable integration is about to take a huge leap, with new availability on the nation’s largest cable provider. More recently, Netflix has made itself available directly through a handful of smaller, regional cable providers, such as Cablevision and satellite providers like Dish Network.
