Let's face facts, streaming video on the internet is really not that hard or unique any more. It was only a matter of time before most other media companies offered their own streaming services.

So what does Netflix have to offer that is unique in today's world of streaming? Not much.



No commercials, which is why their strategy seems to be to become a commercial free basic cable.


Netflix builds the commercials directly into the content. Not that they are alone in this.


The commercials will come soon enough. It’ll start with the $10 plan (get HD content with o ly some commercials!) and spread from there.

Remember when the selling point of cable was commercial free?


Their CEO just announced they will be adding commercials soon.
