Re: Netflix Growth
It's one of those things that actually creates the expanded market by offering the service.

Re: Netflix Growth
I can say it is a bit frustrating to have to subscribe to several services to watch what you want. Right now I have Amazon Prime Video as part of the Prime package. I also have Sling TV. I used to have Netfilx, too. But I thought that three services was more than enough for me.

OTT channels?
So are you talking an OTT tier of channels on pay TV platforms? The Amazon Channel? The Netflix Channel? The HBO (OTT) Channel - maybe a little redundant there... It's taking me a minute to wrap my head around this idea.

Re: OTT channels?
Not just you @jbtombes, I think everyone is trying to figure out how this will play out. I don't think you can just keep adding channels, that's going to create a gigantic bill, which is a key driver for cord cutting in the first place. I think you have to create one package that pulls in a substantial percentage of the high value content you get from these players. That means they have to be willing to work with the MSO/IPTV/DBS provider to create such a package. that's not going to happen today - they market has to fragment more, in my opinion anyway, and they have to face sluggish growth, maybe some financial pressures first. That's not really happening right now because there's a lot of faith in the OTT business long term. So its all a ways away I think. But fundamentally my thesis is: a more fragmented OTT video market = better scenario for pay TV providers

Re: Netflix Growth
It totally is frustrating!
I wish there was just one service that had everything on it (never gonna happen.) I have Netflix and I usually use it for shows because I'm not into their movie selections.

Netflix Competitors
This provides an opportunity for everyone - Pay-TV providers and streaming providers. Competition is good for business.
I wonder why more the number of users that downloaded content from other sites other than Netflix was higher in April, did a major event occur that caused the increase?
Companies need to make it easy for users to view content. No one wants to subscribe to multiple services because this quickly adds up and may cost the same or more than subscribing to one higher priced provider like Comcast or TimeWarner.

Re: Netflix Competitors
Good points!
I too wish there was a service for everything. I hate having to have multiple services just to be able to have a more wide selection of television and movies.
