Comment Netflix needs to choose - provider or producer (Score 1) 193
Netflix can aim to be the primary gateway to all media content. Netflix can aim to be a great producer of exclusive content. Netflix cannot successfully aim to be both. They will fail at signing on the lion's share of new content if they are also competitors with those same produces of said content. They are somewhat pulling it off for now because they became a hub first, but it's not sustainable. They have to pick what their business model will be.
