Arrow Netflix Contemplates Higher Tier Video Streaming

Quote:
Netflix CEO Reed Hastings previously and repeatedly seemed to indicate they’d never introduce a pay-per-view video download model or higher tiers of video streaming. However, it looks like that topic has been reopened for discussion. In a customer survey going around, Netflix wonders if we’d pay an additional $10 a month to stream “HBO original series and movies.” Personally, I believe a higher tier or PPV is the only way Netflix will be license a large stable of current Hollywood blockbusters. So, I’m not entirely opposed to the idea. However, $10 seems a bit steep for this HBO content, especially with many of these shows available on DVD. Unless the tier provides currently running series in a timely fashion, say within 24 hour of airing, and timely big budget films, the pricing strikes me as a bit extreme. (Compared to what we currently pay.) Not to mention, Showtime’s delivering better original programming these days.

They should offer a trial basis for a couple of months.
Maybe 50c a view and see what kind of audience they get. Plus, it will allow subscribers to decide if they really want to watch enough HBO stuff to make it worth plunking down a sawbuck a month.
Since so many of these series and movies are continuously repeated, you could burn through that money in a short time.

One day the video streaming is going to run into a bandwidth issue. Not now but someday... Now before you jump on me it won't be individual users but total numbers

That would ruin their business the only reason a lot use the streaming is because they love the idea of paying the 20 dollars and getting as much as you want to watch in that month on the streaming. To go ppv or even 30 cents a view would ruin the whole streaming business they have. If they do that then goodbye to them from me.
