That is kind of bold to say you know what Netflix is thinking, don't you
think?  And for free?  It costs a lot of money to serve out that video and
to upload it to the internet.  I am not aware of anyone willing to do it
for free.  Even here at the university we must pay to upload our bits. And
I'm not talking about a CDN.
