Commented on Netflix is jacking up subscription prices; what will you do?
I'd be interested to see Netflix's math on this one: Number of dvd + streaming subscribers; how many of those they think will stick around after the rate hike; how many they think will go to streaming only; and how many they think will drop the service altogether. I'm guessing the huge rate hike is to compensate for the huge number of subscribers that will go streaming only.
