It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.

  • The State of Streaming You Could Be a Contender
    2017 Report The State of Streaming You could be a contender: how streaming services can maintain a competitive edge IBM Cloud Video Overview It’s been ten years since Netflix introduced streaming video, and in the last three years it feels like a new service is launching every day. Since the initial rush to enter the space, streaming services are now tasked with solving emerging challenges and standing out in a crowded industry. Despite viewers’ preference for streaming video on demand – roughly two-thirds of consumers currently use a streaming service – there are still major pain points that plague the viewer experience. In our annual report measuring the state of streaming among consumers, we’ve found that viewers have high expectations for their streaming services and are not completely satisfied with their experience. Now that the initial sprint to launch has passed, in order to survive in a saturated media landscape, streaming services must next tackle the myriad challenges that stand in the way of long-term success.
