OpenConnect publicly launched in June 2012, at which point it was already carrying 5% of their traffic, not last week.

Netflix does own the pipes via OpenConnect. They hope to eventually deliver the majority of traffic over OpenConnect.

Here in Canada they just introduced something called Super HD. To get the newer higher quality streams, your ISP needs to make a peering arrangement with netflix (so they would have direct networks and not use internet bandwidth).

It's a mixed bag which ISPs are adopting it. Understandably a few see Netflix as a threat.

It's available here too. It was covered recently here when TW didn't like the idea very much.

It's funny watching the ISPs complain that Netflix is costing them so much bandwidth and doesn't want to pay for it, and then Netflix gives them a solution that reduces the bandwidth needs by a huge amount for free except the cost to power the device an a few slots of rack space...and the cable companies still cry foul.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Didnt-I-call-this-27962563 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 16:15:52 EDT Re: Didn't I call this! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Didnt-I-call-this-27962136 said by cableties:

No, they don't need their own content.
They need to pay for the content people want to watch, just as they did for the DVD library.

They don't need to own the pipes.

That's theirs. With the adoption rate they have all it will take is time.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Didnt-I-call-this-27961998 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 13:18:58 EDT Re: Didn't I call this! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Didnt-I-call-this-27961993 said by fifty nine:

That's just too bad, aint it? And I suspect that if they did, it would cost quite a bit more than $7/month.

Yet another guy that doesn't understand how the internet works.

It's no longer about charging a lot to few people. It's about charging little to a LOT of people because delivery of content is no longer a big deal since even a child can do it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Didnt-I-call-this-27961993 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 13:16:45 EDT Re: Didn't I call this! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Didnt-I-call-this-27961914 said by cableties:

At one time we had Time Warner, Comcast, Cablevision owning many of the channels. News Corp owned DirecTV. Now it's really only Comcast and to some extent Cablevision, and Comcast is bigger than ever. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Didnt-I-call-this-27961897 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 12:49:52 EDT Re: Didn't I call this! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Didnt-I-call-this-27961658 said by MURICA:
