Companies will always ponder more expensive packages and how they can make more money.

Disney will have exactly the same issue, they won't even put Fox content on their streaming service which basically leaves you with pretty much a family friendly service there won't be the likes of Ozark, Narcos or House of Cards. There plenty of room for both companies in the market

Other factors need to be taken in to account Disney have 0 streaming customers unless you count their current Disney Life service, Netflix have in the region of 125 million customers. That is one hell of a head start and as Sky have shown through Now TV you can be the dominate player in the market but still do streaming wrong.

Netflix will spend $12 billion in 2018 on content which dwarfs everyone in Hollywood. What does that mean, well Warner Bros will release 23 movies this year by far highest number of any studio. Disney who is currently the most successful financially will release 10. Netflix 83!

3rd party content is important and if you want Hollywood movies then Netflix probably is not the service for you, but for TV they simply can't be beaten right now. They are also diversifying beyond Hollywood, they are bring in European and Asian programming. Their portfolio is very varied whereas Disney is going to be very narrow. The likes of Dark and Japanese Anime has be consuming content that I would not have considered before.

And lastly the market will be further fragmented by the other Studios and one thing these studios show time and time again is they don't understand the market and are anti consumer, they will ridiculous DRM, low quality streaming, restrictions on the devices or how many you can log into.

Competition is good in the market place but Netflix will be fine, they have been preparing for this for almost 8 years and are now one of the biggest makers of content in the world.
