And this is why Netflix' business model is doomed. There is no way for them to compete with Comcast, who already gets $50 each month for Internet alone.
There's just no way the content creators are going to give Netflix better terms than they give cable operators. None. Won't happen.
And Netflix cannot afford to pay what cable pays, because it's all added cost to them.
Netflix is between a rock and hard place, they know it, and they did the absolutely worst thing they could do. They should have just let things ride, milk the cash cow they'd created, and see how it plays out. Instead, they shot the cow, spilled the milk, and seem oblivious to the overwhelmingly negative reaction from their customers. sigh
