Thanks Mark,

Good call on the projected subscriber losses - I presume a big portion of those would be people who were on the trial/teaser plans (that's a speculation on my part). Hastings actually sits on Microsoft's board of directors, so that is a viable proposition. And I like your way of thinking about it - more on acquisition basis.

Was YouTube profitable at the time of acquisition? If not, the proposition of NFLX seems even more appealing.
