You want to watch on another TV well that will be another install plus a multi room fee.
You want to watch stuff while in the go? Yes as long as you have WiFi and don't want to watch anything that you were recording or the on demand section or channels we don't have a licence for on our mobile app versus watch our whole catalogue and pick up right where left of on another device.
He talks content, well who got works wide distribution rights to Star Trek within 24 hours of US broadcast? I said it before but the momentum is changing in Netflix favour they are greenlighting shows that would never be made by traditional networks, see Stranger Things that languished in development hell for years, and is available to binge watch wherever you live.
Finally it's a bit rich to talk about debt when our cable company has carried around enormous debt for decades. To cost of setting up Netflix in one country is surely cheaper then digging up roads and laying cable.
