[AusNOG] Netflix coming to Australia

[Bradley Amm]

It means that News Limited didn’t like it as they want to kill off any news about competition to keep their strangle hold on Foxtel and Pay TV in Australia

I am not sure why they don't consider Netflix as a competitor... I guess it is all a matter of perspective.

FetchTV is a replacement of the 'cable company' business model - they compete with Foxtel to deliver you TV channels etc
Netflix is a replacement of the 'video rental' business model - they compete with VideoEzy/Blockbuster etc to deliver you a large library of content to watch on demand.

Additionally FetchTV is normally delivered as a box that plugs into your TV, Netflix is normally delivered as a app/service that you install on something. Fetch is saying they want their box to be one of thoes somethings. In the US netflix has started to partner with cable companies to install Netflix on your traditional cable box.
