There is one nice thing about Netflix…
No commercials
So Bert
Instead of arguing, lets fix it
We agree that people will pay for their broadband ISP service
We agree that people would like to be able to access any content from any
device, fixed and mobile
So how do we redistribute the hundreds of billions that Americans are spending
on “entertainment” ?
their MVPD bill, movies and new Internet services like Netflix?
Is your vision of an “unwalled” OTT marketplace one where everything is free…
with ads
Where tying content to bundles is illegal?
How will it work?
Regards
Craig
