Anything that can keep you away from a Netflix screen is a competitor to them.
But DOJ experts don't see it as broadly as that.
That's where Netflix could face some challenges because combined with HBO, they would have over 30% of the subscription streaming marketplace in the U.S.
And that's kind of a trigger point when you hit that 30% mark that borders into prove you're not doing something wrong material.
We're seeing people on both sides of the aisle politically weigh in against this deal.
Elizabeth Warren this morning put out a statement.
There's been statements from some Republican senators as well.
So it's going to be a fight.
Well, it's certainly quite a surprise, not only to us folks in the trenches covering it, but I think a lot of Wall Street analysts as well were dubious about how serious Netflix was.
But in the last several days, it's become apparent that they were very serious and they made a
dramatic cash offer, which is what Paramount had been offering.
Comcast and Netflix were only bidding for the Warner movie and TV studios and library and HBO, which of course also includes the HBO Max streaming platform.
Paramount was bidding for the whole company.
And actually, Paramount thought that would give them an advantage with the board and with shareholders that they wanted the whole company and not wanting to break it apart.
But the Warner people believe that there is probably more value in the Hollywood assets as a standalone than with the whole company.
So that was never really a major lure for Warner Brothers.
Yes, this has been a very interesting, fast-paced auction.
And the last few days, it really began to get a little nasty.
Paramount became more vocal, feeling that the deck was stacked against them, that Warner Brothers was clearly favoring Netflix to the detriment of not only Paramount, but they would argue Warner Discovery shareholders as well.
