It'll be interesting to see how this goes. Lots of competitors keeps everyone on their toes, but the only real winners are the studios.
And the trend at the moment seems to be exclusive deals. So if it's on Netflix, it's not on Amazon (or Lovefilm in the UK). That means keeping multiple subscriptions with multiple companies if you want to be able to watch anything. That said, I can't see how it's going to change. If you can't differentiate on price or technology, then you differentiate on your offering. And that means exclusive deals.
