Interesting language from the CEO of a consumer services company regarding his customer base: THR: Are you concerned that American Netflix subscribers will look north and ask for the same discount Canadians get at $7.99?
Hastings: How much has it been your experience that Americans follow what happens in the world? It's something we'll monitor, but Americans are somewhat self-absorbed. Doesn't hurt that Blockbuster filed Chapter 11. Maybe the Canadians will be able to stream more than the latest Gunsmoke reruns. But they still cant stream Red Green. Go figure.

If we succeed in Canada, we will certainly look at other markets. But each market is unique, and what attracted us to Canada is great broadband, and a great love of movies and TV shows. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3if1d3902d1257 4ec222961f1deec0fd2b No virus found in this incoming message.
