Compare Netflix's 2 million subscriber reach with a pay tv channel like Fox which is available on every UK platform , so that's over 10 million Sky subscribers nearly 4 million VM subscribers and both BT and Talk Talk near the million mark each.
I think the likely strategy will be to build up their library with some good films, etc, to attract those extra customers. Look at the interest shown with House of Cards. Netflix will soon become the dominant player in this field, I think.
