Netflix Inc. will support Charter Communications Inc.’s $55 billion acquisition of Time Warner Cable Inc. in exchange for free access to Charter’s customers, according to filings the companies sent to the Federal Communications Commission Tuesday.
Charter won’t charge any website to deliver its content more efficiently until at least Dec. 31, 2018, the company said in a filing. Netflix filed a separate document that said it’s committed to supporting Charter’s deal for Time Warner Cable announced in May, given this commitment by Charter.
