- gigatexal 9y agoNo. But the potential is there. They were better off separate as they operated as different entities but together their incentives are overlapped and the potential to exert undue power over the market is that much easier. Separate Comcast and NBC had no incentive to go into any exclusive agreements. Disney buying Marvel is a similar case. They are pulling content licensed for viewing on Netflix into their own service. Not illegal but not a win for consumers in an already crowded steaming market. And unfair to Netflix in that sense.
