Netflix Pours $$$ For Content

Netflix continues to pay a premium for content which should keep them buoyant as upcoming streaming services launch in the next quarter.

While quarterly spend is on the rise, subscription prices may jump as a result.

As more options become available to consumers, there's the inherent risk for Netflix's subscriber numbers to drop again since its -110K in Q2 for its slumping US region- in the wake of losing Friends and The Office which accounted for about 11% of all US viewing hours- and their ability to compete amongst upstarts may signal a shift.
