Bob Iger: Netflix Hasn’t Cornered The Market For Premium Streaming Video

“The $75 [a month], 100-channel expanded basic package is a really good bargain,” [Bob Iger, Disney CEO] says. “The consumer is getting a good deal.” He also sees no problem as companies including Disney ratchet up their programming fees. Could price inflation lead to cord cutting, [...]? “We don’t see evidence of that occurring.” And consumers may see no impact because pay TV distributors “may have to accept lower margins on their video business.” That could make sense because video is “very important” to help them sell lucrative broadband and phone services. - David Lieberman
