Netflix has ridiculously large operations. 37% of downstream internet traffic in North America in 2016 https://time.com/3901378/netflix-internet-traffic/ https://time.com/3901378/netflix-internet-traffic/ 15% of global internet traffic in 2018 https://www.sandvine.com/hubfs/downloads/phenomena/2018-phenomena-report.pdf https://www.sandvine.com/hubfs/downloads/phenomena/2018-phen... . Not that I'm against adding Microsoft, but I think Netflix has definitely earned its spot.
- tempsy 7y agoI mean, of course there's no official requirement on what constitutes a "big tech co" but my point is more that I wouldn't consider Netflix's business to really be comparable to the others in the existing acronym. It has one narrow business line that currently has a lot of users, but will likely face considerable headwinds with a glut of new competing services from content owners like Disney.
