Netflix and LG to enter crowded movie download market
Netflix is feeling the heat from iTunes, Amazon and competing set-top boxes that want to bring TV and movies to American sets. LG is willing to provide the hardware and it is possible that the device that will offer streaming content will also include much wanted playback of Blu-Ray and HD-DVD discs. Netflix is well established and its catalogue is massive with 6,000 titles. Nevertheless, nothing guarantees success in the particular market segment, as has been proven so far by the cold receipt of AppleTV. I still believe that set-top boxes are fragmenting the market and that we need clean practical ways to deliver films and TV from the internet as I have already written here.
