The future of Netflix looks grim as it simultaneously competes with two key partners: those who provide the bandwidth that makes Netflix streaming possible (AT&T and Comcast sell bandwidth as a sideline to their sale of multimedia subscriptions), and Amazon – whose Amazon Web Services runs Netflix' back-end (and that of Netflix' streaming service, which pays less for the service).
I pitch Netflix as the short leg of a Disney long/short. Those who love Amazon could use it as the long, but I'm nervous about Amazon's nosebleed P/E and its thin margins.
