Dial Up Obsolete
I think that they shoud get rid of dial up because it be slow at times for them to come up with a better solution is great.
Wow
We'll Make Buffering Obsolete, Like Dial-Up: Netflix CEO
I still have to read the article. But i couldn't resist to say this out loud...this title itself is an attention grabber. I felt like 'Wow...'. I will read and be back with my response(s) soon.

Re: Dial up
afwriter, freehe - I think it was just a throw away line, he was trying to make a point. I don't think he meant absolutely no one...it's like someone would say casually, "Oh everyone uses Amazon now," or "everyone has a cell phone now."

Re: Netlfix CEO
freehee - just because it's quite a visually opulent production, and he felt that seeing it on a 4-5 inch screen would take away from the experience. It's like Avatar or Star Wars - people want to see these in a theatre, and some will wait to see in an IMAX only. You want to maximize the experience.
But not everyone cares. As hastings said, he finds the smartphone screen rich enough visually.

Re: Dial up
He may have been being pejorative, but I definitely don't know anyone with dial up and I would have to think that the technology isn't worth its weight any more.

Netlfix CEO
Why was Peter Morgan outraged that Hastings watched The Crown on his mobile screen?
He also feels that viewing video on the mobile screen is a choice -- that some people will always prefer larger screens (he mentioned Peter Morgan, writer of Netflix series The Crown, and also Frost/Nixon, The Damned United and Rush, who was outraged that Hastings watched The Crown on his mobile screen); while others, probably younger viewers, would be more open to other, and at least some of the time, smaller screens. In his opinion, it will always be a mix.

Dial up
He said no one has dial-up anymore. Actually some people do, those that rarely use the internet and aren't concerned with speed still do.
"Hastings mentioned the "shhk-shhk" sound that a dial-up modem made, and said that many in the audience may not even be old enough to know that sound, because it is gone now. No one has dial-up connections any longer. He said he wants to make video buffering go the same way, where no one experienced it."

Re: And yet another advantage
@JohnBarnes, good point. Anything that prevents hackers it great.

Buffering
I am so glad that Netflix views buffering as a big problem. Now if only YouTube could see it too.
