analysis was spot on. telcos will trump over the top providers such as netflix, as telcos own the most important piece of the value chain - the conduit.

That, and the Comcasts of the world will not let their Pay tv model be trumped by the Netflix's of the world. They will squeeze that pipe and only jack diddly s--- will come out. Netflix is delusional to think otherwise.

Not if contect companies make their own conduits. I think it's time for them to at least look at the possibility of going wireless. Strike deals with the wireless providers to deliever Netflix to your phone or a CDMA/UTMS/LTE settop box.

When my family and I are on the road, I tether my ATT phone to my laptop and we watch netflix if we have a strong enough 3g signal. That's more common than not due to the locations we tend to go and many times my phone is faster than the hotel's Wifi(at least fo rnetflix anyway, packet shaping maybe).

Comcast needs to ask themselves why people use Netflix. Because your poor excuse of an ondemand library sucks.

People use Neflix because the prices of VOD are a huge rip-off... for the price of 2 VOD movies you can get a month of Netflix. Duh....
