Netflix: Not Cheap But Who Else is Slaying Cable? (Forbes)
Is cable television about to bite the dust? Some analysts have been predicting that will be the ultimate result of consumers’ enthusiasm about digital alternatives: every new subscriber to Hulu, Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) or Amazon’s (AMZN) streaming services increases the probability that that individual’s local cable company will soon have one less customer. Nonetheless, it came as a shock to find one of cable’s giants putting forth the same point of view in an interview with the Wall Street Journal earlier this month. “There could come a day” that Cablevision Systems (CVC) stops offering traditional television transmission and relies on broadband Internet as its main source of revenue, the company’s CEO, James Dolan, said in the interview.

So you’ve just signed up for Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) to watch new episodes of Breaking Bad. You’re not alone. Breaking Bad is why most people I know have Netflix. It’s why I have Netflix – after guzzling up the first four seasons on DVD in a dizzy, near-continuous, sleep-deprived, pizza-fuelled sitting at Christmas, I panic-subscribed because Netflix was the only place I could watch season five with any degree of legality (although the new episodes are also available on iTunes). But now what? Perhaps it’s time to explore Netflix a little more. The problem is that Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) will try to recommend things for you to watch, based on your love of Breaking Bad.
