Pricing, Not Content Is King - At this rate, Netflix might be the real TV Everywhere.
Some see the Starz-Netflix negotiation as proof, once again, that content is king. Nope. Pricing is king. The eventual loser will not be Netflix, or its new owner. The loser will be the distribution channels which do not greedily charge $16 per month, but which greedily charge, on average, $80 a month and don’t recommend anything but pricier tiers of service. Oh, and if they can ever roll out “TV Everywhere,” they’ll also serve to your iPad at no extra charge. All the Real Housewives you can stomach! Woohoo. Yo, cable: talking about you.
