"How, exactly, are they poaching assets?"

I'm sure an Internet Service Provider would have a thing or two to say about that.

lol... you mean like the cable company?

Previous poster had it right... "Cable company crybabies" I quit cable service 2 years ago, and I don't miss it a bit except for fox news. I do however pay the same cable company for internet service... and yes i'm a big fan and customer of Netflix.

If the cable company wants to cry about losing their business to Netflix by making it cost me more, they will only lose more of their own business. Maybe they should take a closer look at their own content. It's not all about price ya know.

How? If the provider provides a service to the customer and the customer downloads gigs of docs for business or pleasure, what's the issue?

If the provider provides unlimited service as a contract to the customer, and the product downloaded by the customer breaks neither the law nor the contract, how is that "poaching"? I notice folks don't scream their heads off at music streaming by radio stations or other sources, but only want to go after Netflix. They don't mention Amazon provides the same service, although not the same amount of content.

Are they somehow different from Hulu, or NBC, or ABC, or Fox, or CBS? They all allow one to stream full episodes of their shows, as do many other networks.
