Re: Netlfix CEO
He also feels that viewing video on the mobile screen is a choice -- that some people will always prefer larger screens....
I absolutely agree with this. There are many that think this way and i am one of them. I am a technology person, but large screen is my personal preference.
Re: Dial up
I had sinilar observation in the article.
But i assumed he may not have literally meant 'absolutely no dial ups' but he may have meant there are hardly any. And that is true, there are minial dial up connections out there at present. The trend is downwards.
Re: Buffering
@freehe:
I am sure Youtube may be thinking in similar lines.

Re: And yet another advantage
@Michelle - You're right about that one! Netflix seems capable of streaming even when Amazon and Hulu aren't. As much as I do love Amazon, I've been known to lose my patience with them too. Having to close out of whatever I'm watching and start it back up again to get a better connection gets old pretty fast.

Re: Netlfix CEO
@Adi - I can definitely see the creator being a little offended by someone watching something they created on a smartphone. Even if they have the ability to understand why someone might do so, it's still a piece of art they put time and effort into. You would want people to be able to truly enjoy and appreciate the full experience.
That said, I'm sure I could have upset a gaggle of artists if they knew a good chunk of my "art viewing" was on my 5 inch display, or worse, was distracted from by my 5 inch display.

Re: Dial up
@afwriter - I don't know anyone with dial-up anymore either. And I honestly would have put money that the technology isn't available anymore. Seriously, what services are offering dial-up as an option anymore? Get off the phone so I can use the internet - dial up. I'd be surprised if it exists, in the United States, anywhere at least.

Re: And yet another advantage
@Johns sounds like a mighty win for all. No buffering for anyone ever again!
Netflix is certainly the leader in video delivery even in less than pefect conditions. We use a handful of streaming providers and Netflix is still the most reliable on a spotty connection. Hulu and Amazon don't quite deliver a seamless viewing experience on the same connection.
RE: Diablo up
@adi, afwriter, ,freehe That's the same vibe I got from it. While dial up is still around for the few that don't really use the internet and only have it for the rare times they need it, meeting a person who has dial up would be like meeting someone who doesn't own a cell phone.
On another note though, with how popular streaming new episodes of television shows, old television shows, and movies, In the next 10-20 years I could see cable companies either having to fight to keep cable a thing by lowering prices, or cable starting to really become a the of the past.
