Netflix首席财务官大卫•威尔斯（David Wells）今天在摩根士丹利（Morgan Stanley）的一次会议上发表讲话，似乎反驳了该公司积极推动加强网络中立性监管以及FCC使用Title II的做法我们对它被推到第二名感到高兴吗？据报道，威尔斯在会议上说：“可能不会。”我们希望有一个不受监管的解决方案。”

这与Netflix提交给FCC的公众评论背道而驰，Netflix不仅大力推行网络中立性，而且将定义扩展到对等和互联——FCC做了这件事。

Netflix的一位发言人澄清说，威尔斯实际上是在描述公司地位的演变。早在2010年，Netflix就在推动使用第706节。2014年初，他们仍希望该行业能够在没有新法规的情况下找到解决方案。但当这些渠道似乎关闭时，他们开始争取FCC最强有力的地位，这意味着支持第二篇。”Netflix支持FCC上周采取的行动，即采用TitleⅡ，以确保消费者在不受isp干扰的情况下获得他们付费的互联网。我们在支持强有力的网络中立规则方面的立场没有任何变化。”

Netflix可能会担心FCC在第二篇的应用上过度扩张。在FCC投票前的几周，谷歌和自由新闻社（Free Press）都警告称，与第二篇一起出现的共同运营商名称可能会给isp提供一个借口，让他们对Netflix或YouTube等互联网服务收费两次。

谷歌在FCC提交的文件中写道：“我们必须从一些互联网服务提供商（尤其是国外）的努力来看待这个问题，他们声称，他们向内容提供商提供了一项服务，按照‘发送者付费’模式，他们应该能够收费，同时仍然向零售客户收取相同流量的费用。”如果委员会鼓励错误地认为ISP提供两个重叠的接入服务，而不是一个，或者假设边缘提供商是终止ISP向互联网提供内容的客户，委员会可能会鼓励这种双重恢复的尝试。这可能对互联网创新的良性循环造成严重、长期的损害，从而大大损害采用网络中立规则的好处。”

更新：Netflix今天发表了一篇博文，其中引用了一段较长的话，将Wells的声明置于上下文中。

"So, over the last year, we've been very pleased that we've been able to rise the issues beyond that narrow piece out into the public c***ciousness, and I think that, that has come before. Were we pleased that it pushed to Title II, probably not, right? I mean, we were hoping that, there might be a non-regulated solution to it. But it seems like companies that are pursuing their commercial interests including us have to arrive at something like that. So we're super pleased that there is now a notion, at least a vehicle, for a complaint where if we are in the position we were in 12 to 18 months ago, where we can show you what it looks like if you're a subscriber on one ISP versus another. The notion of "well we're paying this one" and that these people are getting better service, even though they’re both paying their c***umer price for bandwidth. So I would say we are very pleased with what's been accomplished. You know when you're successful as the ISPs are at providing a service. Essentially Internet has become a utility. If you think about people's willingness to drop their broadband, I think there's been some studies that they're willing to drop many other things including buying milk before they dropped their broadband. That's a pretty strong indicator that you've got something that has become, you know, a utility. And in our opinion it was very important to protect those noti***."
