It will be interesting to see if Netflix can sustain their current momentum.
Once you become a subscriber, you learn how shallow the selection is. Good for
TV series catch-up, but very poor with respect to movies. If they are forced to
raise prices - a very likely possibility - they could less subscribers
quickly...
