Netflix CEO Reed Hastings agreed to pay Comcast for direct connections to the cable giant's Internet networks. But he isn't happy about it.

The exec issued a call for a "strong" form of net neutrality that would prohibit broadband service providers like Comcast and AT&T from demanding payments from content companies like Netflix.

In a blog post published Thursday, Hastings argued that a new form of net neutrality is needed that "prevents ISPs from charging a toll for interconnection to services like Netflix, YouTube or Skype, or intermediaries such as Cogent, Akamai or Level 3, to deliver the services and data requested by ISP residential subscribers."

Instead, according to the Netflix topper, "they must provide sufficient access to their network without charge," Hastings wrote.

"Netflix believes strong net neutrality is critical, but in the near term we will in cases pay the toll to the powerful ISPs to protect our consumer experience," Hastings wrote. "A few weeks ago, we agreed to pay Comcast and our members are now getting a good experience again. Comcast has been an industry leader in supporting weak net neutrality, and we hope they'll support strong net neutrality as well."
