Re: Linear is old tech - on demand is the future
Netflix will have invested an aboslute fortune, but as Reed Hastings has said, they need to become a HBO before HBO becomes a Netflix.
The old Hollywood companies still have an incredible advantage, even at this stage with several decades of tv and films each and all the subsequent rights that go with them, not that they're using that advantage. Netflix has had to build its catalogue from scratch. I reckon they'll have another relatively clear-ish run for the next three years, before Disney and the other Hollywood streamers start to make an impact.
I don't think Netflix will involve itself with sports, but Amazon and possibly Apple, Facebook and the other tech cos, will.
