That maybe the case when Disney and others have launched their services all across the globe, but that's years away. Netflix still has the field largely to itself for the next few years and will have added millions more full paying subs in that time to bring that debt down.

Netflix latest results are tomorrow, so we'll see what growth they've had.

AT&T have sold their Hulu stake back to Hulu. Be interesting to see whether Comcast holds on to its 30% stake now, or whether it sells to Disney giving them 100% control.
