5. That chart will have to be reorganized after the Comcast/NBC merger.

The huge vertical integration of content and delivery will result in strong arm tactics in taking down other companies. This is how trusts operate.

I expect to see the new company pulling NBC and Universal Pictures content from Netflix and any other outlet other than its own delivery system.
