And I have just described how that won't be the case.

You may have noticed that Netflix put their prices up regularly - surely if they were enjoying the economies of scale, the prices would stay the same.

Or could it be they have very accurate pricing models, and charge what they calculate the market will bear.
The streaming companies will be constrained by the competition.

The economies of scale relate to global distribution versus domestic only distribution.

Netflix is currently testing the waters, and it makes sense for them to do so, particularly given the huge amount of investment going into their shows. However, with competing services such as Amazon, Disney+, Apple and Starzplay, price increases in the future will be constrained.
