OK. The late 80s, early 90s experiments with the cable company offering "interactive Tee Vee", a.k.a. "video on demand" never caught on. That was almost a cliche by 1995. So what's different now? Netflix on-line streaming videos is quite nice, and so successful that the shadowy "movie studios" are starting to strangle it by making it pull movies every so often, etc etc.
