I mean, Netflix just a few years ago said, we're never going to do ads.

We're never going to put commercials in Netflix.

And now there's a tier that costs $6 a month that-

Uber has an ads business now that's now worth over $1 billion.

Washington, D.C.

has a pentagon, an obelisk, and soon it could be getting a sphere.

Sphere Entertainment, the company behind the futuristic domed event center in Las Vegas, announced plans to build another one in National Harbor, Maryland, just outside the nation's capital.

Except this won't be a normal sphere.

It's going to be a mini-me sphere containing about 6,000 seats, roughly one-third of the original in Vegas.

Building the Maryland sphere is still expected to cost more than $1 billion dollars,

But to defray the cost, the project includes $200 million in financing help from Maryland governments and private sources.
