Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
US consumers paying the price for streaming
Quote:
Consumers have complained bitterly over the years about traditional “bundled” cable and satellite packages, where they paid a monthly subscription for 100s of channels when they only ever watched a handful. Now many would welcome a return to that aggregation to find all of the content they want to watch in one place at a single price. Direct-to-consumer is the name of the current internet game and that can mean cutting out the middle man of traditional broadcaster or cable operator.

...However, catalogues such as Amazon’s and Hulu’s are shrinking as studios hold back content for their own streaming services, forcing viewers into paying for multiple subscriptions to access all the TV and movies they want.

There is much more that’s watchable in the post-57 channel age, but as Ampere concludes: “The golden age of cheap access to content is coming to a close.”
