S. Korean broadband firm Netflix says it is ending all disputes over costs. On Monday, South Korean internet service provider SK Broadband and Netflix Inc (NFLX.O) ended their lawsuits over whether Netflix should pay for increasing network traffic and maintenance.

In a joint announcement, SK Broadband and parent SK Telecom (017670. KS) cooperated with Netflix to offer joint goods and employ SK’s AI products.

“With today’s partnership, SK Broadband and Netflix will end all disputes and collaborate for the future,” the statement stated.

Netflix and SK Broadband dropped their lawsuits, according to spokespersons.

Since 2020, the two sides have been litigating whether content providers with high traffic volumes should pay for network usage, which would violate ‘net neutrality’ and raise consumer prices.

The disputes between the South Korean broadband firm and Netflix have raised concerns about competition and cooperation within the streaming industry. Resolving these disputes is a beacon of hope for amicable solutions in an increasingly competitive market.

A key aspect of the settlement revolves around bandwidth allocation. Both parties have agreed to ensure sufficient bandwidth for Netflix content, particularly during peak usage hours. This ensures that subscribers enjoy seamless streaming experiences.

Another critical component of the resolution involves content licensing. The South Korean broadband firm and Netflix have negotiated mutually beneficial terms for the distribution of Netflix’s content on the broadband firm’s network. This includes popular series, movies, and documentaries.

To support the enhanced user experience, the broadband firm has committed to investing in its infrastructure. This includes upgrading network capacity and implementing state-of-the-art technology to handle the demands of streaming services like Netflix.

Resolving all disputes between the South Korean broadband firm and Netflix is a watershed moment for the digital streaming industry. It exemplifies the potential for cooperation in an increasingly competitive landscape and the commitment to enhancing the user experience. As the streaming industry continues to evolve, partnerships like this may become the norm, ultimately benefitting consumers by ensuring smoother, more enjoyable streaming experiences. This resolution sets a precedent for the industry, showing that collaboration can lead to a win-win situation for content providers, broadband companies, and, most importantly, viewers.
