[AusNOG] Village Roadshow confirms Netflix coming to Australia

[Skeeve Stevens]

Just found this article in which Village Roadshow confirms Netflix is
negotiating access to its content for Australia.

Most previous reports were based on rumours, but this seems to indicate a
bit more of a realness about it.

If anyone seems Netflix installing kit around the place or officially
hooking up to any IX's... should it loud :)

The article states that without even being in Australia and having active
Geoblocking in place, Netflix is still number 2 in on demand... so what
will happen to the other players when they officially launch... I think
this is a juggernaut that is going to make a big explosion when it hits.
 Also expect to see a range of new media player/devices hitting the local
market like the Roku 3.

Looks like we're all going to need more backhaul soon.... and expect ISPs
to have 'Netflix' plans :)
