Well QFX might not want to compete with NFLX but NFLX will eventually have by far the largest market share of streaming subscribers if they don't have already.
Compete with Stan, so what it's a fight for third and fourth place? Doubt there any long term organic growth and revenue wining that battle. And what revenue will QFX end up with if Presto agreement does go through, seems to me they are getting out of subscription streaming licensing because they can't afford it and will be left with PPV and DVD Post and just a reseller of Presto content..
NFLX will eventually be the dominate player by a long margin same as every other market they enter, Presto might be left with a few subscribers but that's about all.
Why would customers go with other services if NFLX offers more content cheaper in HD plus 4K, plus only a matter of time (as ive stated before as well) before regional licencing is given the flick, in favour of global because with streaming there are no boundaries, old regional licencing is like QFX throwback from DVD days.
NFLX producing more and more of their own content, rumored Top Gear trio are going to NFLX they can release that content any market they wish, add a VPN and you can access all for one Aus subscription.
Not to mention that NFLX streaming is simply better quality and streams a lot smoother even on a basic ADSL connection let alone VDSL,ADSL2 etc
Meanwhile Presto QFX still SD and has lowest overall image quality, no official plans announced for HD or by any of others about releasing content in 4K
Making things up? Making things up would be claiming that NFLX will partner with QFX because they won't be able to get enough content for release in Aus and therefore will never launch here. Or that QFX ISP deal with TPG for unmetered data is imminent.
What happened, NFLX launched on their own and partnered with iinet and Optus for unmetered data and offer 6 months free subscription.
