AT&T pulls 'Friends' from Netflix for its streaming service

2. If you read the Guardian

Anyone would think this is the imminent demise of Netflix considering the weekly 'imminent demise of Netflix' articles they churn out.
I'm not buying that line though, Netflix will be fine and they have some great content and the cash to either keep buying it or creating it.
Sure with everybody pulling content they are going to have to streamline the good stuff instead of throwing 100 new shows/movies at us and hoping one sticks. They have just signed a deal with UKs Shepparton Studios for instance who have some great content so I imagine more deals are on the way.

Netflix is a global giant and while every other man and his dog are entering the game at the moment I imagine they will eventually be absorbed by the bigger players in due time.

I mean NBCUniversal, comcast, Hulu and even Apple are pretty much not even runners outside of the US so if they want viewers they are going to have to sell the rights to one of the big guys overseas.

So far we have at home Netflix, HBOes and Prime.es but Disney looks like it will be a must have for Star Wars content alone with bonus points for kids stuff. I'd happily do away with HBO or Prime if I'm honest to make way for the Disney service although I would miss John Oliver and Bill Maher plus the new GoT prequel sound worth keeping HBO for at least.

Now if a decent sporting service came along to show Premier league then my viewing would be complete.
