I talked to NetFlix about streaming in 2004 and I got the impression that they'd been working on it for some time. (Thinking about streaming is no big deal - there were pre-99 startups working on streaming and Hastings surely knew about them.)
- kenjackson 15y agoTo be clear... there were pre-99 startups that DID streaming. I was invested in one. But B-movies from the 50s apparently have a smaller market than one might think -- and you probably already think it has a really small market.
- officemonkey 15y agoAlso, remember what video streaming was like in 99 (postage stamp-sized window, muddy picture, buffering every three seconds). The network has come a long way in 12 years.
