Re: Overstatisticianization
<at the same time you are forced to buy things you don't want to get the things you do. >
@JohnBarnes Exactly, that's the way many of the bundles work. In fact, I find that for some of the internet service packages, they also bundle what I don't want. I'm only interested in internet and phone service, not the TV bundle as well, But I have only a choice of two in my neighborhood and neither is offering a bundle that makes sense for the two. So now I pay for internet alone and take another service for VOIP.

Re: Overstatisticianization
@Joe, Whoa!! What a deal!
Sounds like they have lost touch with reality then - that's what happens when they begin thinking they know what's best for the company.
Or - they think they can coast and do "all of the above". If they are going to be a "content" company, then they need to focus on that and not try to coax the consumer into mediocre services.
I would cancel my subscription as well. Note: Maybe that is why Amazon is making inroads into the subscription services.

How far
It's crazy to me how far Netflix has come! I remember when someone introduced it to me years ao and I had no clue what it was. Now it seems like everyone has a Netflix account. It's inspiring to see something like that grow into something so huge. It's not surprising to me that Netflix topped the list!

Re: Overstatisticianization
Yes I agree!
If you're only interested in one show, then why buy the whole package? It would be must easier and cheaper to just buy that particular show rather than the whole HBO package it offers. Seems too expensive if you're only interested in watching one show.

Patience
If you work hard and are persistence you can get to the top. Kudos to Netflix. Customers want options and HBO is losing customers by continuing to use the same model it has for years. They will lose all their customers if they don't become customer centric and innovate. Change is good.

Re: Patience
@freehe, well stated. The competition winner is the one who can best deliver what the customer wants. Netflix is responding to the customer. HBO thinks they own the customer. That's ripe for offering a better alternative.
Here's for Netflix!

Re: Patience
I agree with you.
I feel like companies today are afraid of change. They find what works for them and they stick with that. That's okay, only the world and technology are always changing. Companies have to keep up and keep things fresh for their customers.
Re: Overstatisticianization
@John: Indeed, demand for one single niche channel can only be sold so many times, but when many are bundled as a team, the rising tide can lift all their ships.
Although there are definitely a few channels I wonder about...
Re: Patience
If change was always good Netflix's stock wouldn't have dipped almost 70% a couple of years back.
In any case, there is enough content and enough demand to go around for all of the major players, I think.
