Netflix's bigger problem hasn't been whining customers (how much do they spend at Starbucks every month?) -- its been the "content providers" buying into cable companies and telcos and then making deals to cut Netflix out of the picture.

This NPR article is a fairly succinct shoot down of the whole idea....

And frankly, "Qwikster" SOUNDS like something my grandpa would use, what moron came up with that one?
What Netflix and Youtube need to do is become a content producer. They need to produce their own stuff because the current big guys aren't going to sell it to them.
