[AusNOG] Netflix Peering in AU

[Tim Sheahan]

..and thus the merry go round goes on..

It seems clear, though, the current behavior of content owners would 
seem saintly if compared with the scenario where they don't have 
bittorrent as a competitor.

Here's hoping Netflix can follow through on a massive expansion of the 
content portfolio, a lot seems to depend on it.

I'm sure at the levels where these decisions get made, there are still 
very strong drivers for exclusivity deals. To me though, the notion 
seems more and more antiquated as the IPTV landscape takes shape.
