I think they needs to go global quick, or they will not survive against netflix.
As it is now, the internet is a rather segregated place. Many media sites are only available in the US. "This is not available in your country".
I wonder if a big reason why netflix decided to make original content in the first place, is that its a huge pain to go global with content with regional rights.
The purpose of Netflix is to provide entertainment. It makes sense for them to be everywhere.
I doubt we'll see Amazon PV around the world anytime soon -- it doesn't make sense for them to spend on the global licensing costs since it won't boost Prime subscriptions.
Of course, Amazon's cash cow right now is AWS. It's mind-blowing how much money companies will spend on that just because they resent maintaining their own hardware.
Indeed. Its OK at the moment given that its piggy-backing off the Prime subscription. Without that I doubt I'd subscribe.
Seems fine on my Sony. No better/worse than the netflix one anyway
