Re: Netflix/Streaming Services

....agree.

It's the beginning of the end for big packs of satellite/cable subscription channels.

No longer does a broadcaster need to do multiple deals globally for their shows, they just phone up Netflix or Amazon.

As I've said before, I reckon the main terrestrial broadcasters will probably survive in one form or another into the future, but all the rest will die.

And as a reminder, Netflix now has streaming rights to all Trek shows. My Star Trek DVD sets look very nice on their shelf above my tv, but hell, why bother with all that "hassle" when I can just switch on Netflix!
