[ NNSquad ] Re: How the Assault on Netflix Will Shake Out
While this article is about the business there's the obvious interplay with caps. It's clear that there are many players whose business is adversely affected by caps. One big streamer is NBCU. After all isn't television just another streaming source? This places Comcast in an interesting position since NBCU is its future and capped transport is its past. ATT and Verizon don't seem to have comparable options. Time-Warner is another content source. What are its relationships with TWC and do they now have conflicting incentives? There's another factor here -- Akamai. What is the difference between Akamai and a cable head end? If content is cached locally what is the rationale for having a cap on local traffic? -----Original Message----- From: nnsquad-bounces+nnsquad=bobf.frankston.com@nnsquad.org [mailto:nnsquad-bounces+nnsquad=bobf.frankston.com@nnsquad.org] On Behalf Of Lauren Weinstein Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2011 14:08 To: nnsquad@nnsquad.org Subject: [ NNSquad ] How the Assault on Netflix Will Shake Out How the Assault on Netflix Will Shake Out http://j.mp/hp55MZ (Hollywood Reporter) --Lauren-- NNSquad Moderator
