Reuters: "'It's not in the short term, but it's in the natural direction for us in the long term,' said (CEO Reed) Hastings, speaking at an investor conference last week. 'Many (cable service providers) would like to have a competitor to HBO, and they would bid us off of HBO.'
While most industry watchers considered Hastings' comments as little more than thoughts about the future, people familiar with the talks said he has already met with senior cable executives to discuss how such a partnership might work. At least one cable operator could experiment with offering Netflix by the end of the year, said one of the people. A Netflix representative declined comment on any talks with cable operators." http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/06/us-netflix-cable-idUSTRE8251U520120306 -- BOB <http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/06/us-netflix-cable-idUSTRE8251U520120306> -- TV or Not TV ....
