Until Netflix etc. start providing access to current TV shows and first run VOD for films, I think Sky and VM will still get the customers. Don't get me wrong, I'd like for this to happen, but it may tale a while and to do this, the £6 per month Netflix price would almost surely have to rise, which Netflix don't want to happen. It's a market in flux ATM, so it's going to be interesting. I think that in the UK, Sky Now could be game changer, depending on the subscription options available and pricing.
