issues because of netflix. i think traditional tv's woes actually help netflix out. you'll see that amplify with ad revenue slipping. affiliate fee revenue isn't there. and here's netflix with $5 billion ready to spend. content costs are also rising in part because of netflix. yes, there's amazon and other people there, but things are not mutually exclusive here. hbo, starz, showtime are all at levels. i think they can both survive but around the globe i think netflix will dominate the market. >> the price target upped to 500. tony wible of janney. nobody owns netflix, here right? >> no. i was wrong on this. let's just take b.k.'s wrongness aside and figure this. i go to the content carries. i think that's the way to play it. we know the content -- if they're spending $5 billion, some of it's going to go this way. >> remember when it was $96 and you called for $100. what we learned from that interview was content is king. so you go to disney. disney's up 10% year to date. netflix up more. >> that was the high w

i think netflix -- the growth of hbo. think netflix new all along they could not a re-broadcaster of movies and tv shows. that maintains a large part of the total viewership area in an effort to differentiate themselves in an increasingly competitive video market they needed to create their own original programming. find something they can brand a little bit. they have had a couple of successes here. they are no different than any other creative entity. >> it had a successful profitable business. netflix did not. it is a principal driver of subscriber growth. what happens when house of cards is over and the flops start to happen? it's hard to pick hits. >> it certainly is. they have driven a business. netflix does have a very large library of movies and tv shows, which continues to drive subscribers and continues to drive the amount of time spent with netflix by its users. clearly they are lining their stars with more original programming, which just heightens the whole programming risk to the netflix story, which wasn't

paul: netflix is tearing a page from the playbook of hbo.hbo came into the market 20 plus years ago, it was simply a place to see movies after they came out in the theater. about 10 years ago, hbo started investing in its own original programming, like "the sopranos." i think netflix has really studied hbo and the success and growth of hbo. i think netflix knew all along that they could not simply be a rebroadcastor, if you will, of reruns of movies and tv shows. while that still maintains a very large part of their total viewership, i think in an effort to differentiate themselves in an increasingly competitive video market, they needed to create their own individual programming, find some hits they could brand a little bit and use to drive subscriber growth. they have had successes, but also some misses. they are no different than any other creative entity. cory: before hbo had "the sopranos," they had "arliss." before that, they had a successful business. netflix did not. this is the principal driver of subscriber growth. what happens whe

netflix doesn't release any numbers.now is that the return of house of cards last year actually had far more of an impact on new sign-ups than season one. and that makes sense. nobody really knew what it was beginning to be in season one. the hype obviously built over the course of the following year and there was a built-in install base. i don't think this one show is critically important for netflix. i think that's important is that this is kicking off a massive year in content for netflix. if you look at the number of shows, basically every four weeks, the six of us are going to have something new and fresh to watch on netflix. house of cards like quality. daredevil from marvel disney. you're beginning to see a lot of content. >> what's the next catalyst for this? are we going to see a price increase? >> i hope not. >> they point to the fact that they've seen price increases happen outside the united states and it hasn't slowed down growth. so we've looked for international growth to be the catalyst. is there a chance

what you watch on netflix?is the new black." >> season four of "friends." >> friends with jennifer aniston? >> that's old. >> you're lucky there is another hour left of the show because i'm ready to push you off it. >> what is wrong with "friends?" >> "orange is the new black is a whole new level. >> let's start with the top business stories of the morning. pfizer is beefing up its roster of generic medicine. they have agreed to by the egg's provider of injectable drugs for $17 billion. pfizer is paying $90 a share. radioshack may be just hours away from filing bankruptcy. according to people with knowledge of the talks radioshack would sell leases on as many as 2000 stores to sprint and its bigger shareholders standard general. the rest of the chains 4000 stores would be closed. you've never gotten a hotel bill like the one expedia got to stop they could omar than $800 million in tax payments for tax things. hawaii and scores of governments say they are after the money. expedia has offered -- has said tax appl

i don't have netflix.ould i want to subsidize their viewing. >> does the fact that netflix or youtube hog 50% of all the internet traffic, does that slow your traffic? >> right. >> from what y watch if you don't watch those things. and that is a basic capacity question which i'd like to see addressed more fully. because if it does slow your service, then maybe they should pay more. >> right. ken thank you so much for joining us today. great to see you. with the rise of new media there is a lot of talk of the death of the networks. this week we suppose withless moonves who disagrees and agrees content is king. >> it is about the content. i don't think television's ever better day. by that i'm talking about the networks and premium cable as well. there is a quality of television on that's never been there before. this year our company has created five new hits that we own. that content is what's going to continue to propel us and continue to make us really thrive. >> our thanks toless moonves. up next we are

netflix closing in on an all-time high. fcc as simon said is debating rules that will decide the future of the internet. at any moment the commission is expected to vote and approve new rules that would classify the internet as a public utility. supporters say the best way to make sure service providers cannot interfere with access. opponents say this gives the government too much control over the web. either way, we're likely to have a decision pretty soon and, of course, it comes wrapped in all sorts of political baggage so to speak. >> it's tremendously complex and the situation we have now, does, in fact, allow big providers to pay more money to get their content there faster. it's very complicated. i think the best answer from most sides is you want do what encourages competition. ultimately that's the thing that is going to make it best for everybody. >> is that a yes vote? >> i don't think so. in fact, i think mark cuban's position we'll hear, is look it is working. it's not perfect, but it's working and you've got b

you have netflix, you have amazon tv. how impressed have you been with some of the original content on some of these other outlets? aaron: if you are a writer, the more vendors that there are for content, the better. obviously, netflix is on fire aaron: with "house of cards" and "orange is the new black." amazon has the gary trudeau show, "alpha house." nontraditional tv is great. emily: how about you? are you a binge watcher? aaron: yes. not just of new stuff. i am a binge watcher of old stuff. i can spend a weekend watching "the office." all nine seasons. by sunday night i have done nothing but watch 200 episodes of "the office." emily: is this the golden age of television? is content better than it's ever been before? aaron: i think content is better than it has ever been before. most television isn't very good, there is just more on the high-end now of what is very good. emily: how much more competition is there for writers like you, show runners like you? aaron: i just don't see it that way. if you have something goo

why can't be i part of internet television like netflix. you can just subscribe to me alone and watch me over the internet. >> it's all coming at a time where the fcc is laying down new rules how to regulate these telecom companies and cable companies, the ones providing broadband to your house. it's confusing to try to figure out what net neutrality means. but do you think it's a good idea for the fcc to step in and regulate these companies like utility companies? >> i find myself of mixed thinking about it. on the one handy worry that you get -- you intrude on innovation, which you need. and you take away the investment opportunities that the cable companies and telephone companies and others -- don't forget google fiber, you may have new technologies that come up, if your wireless broadband, greater speeds than today. will this impede that. on the other hand, i don't want people to say if i own a cable wire or telephone broadband wire, that i'm going to favor this content and not yours. i'm going to give you slower speeds and this guy fa

amazon, netflix and a few others. put them together, i do not like the nasdaq 500 here. >> dan, one more? >> the trade. look out. bk made a great point. of course, okay. the thing, i want to look out to may. okay? looking at the qqq, nasdaq 100. today 109 i bought the may 108, 98 put spread. paid $2 for that. max gain, $98. make up the 8 basically four times my money. chose the strikes, the qqq broke out at 106. a good level. over the next 2 1/2 months a good shot to be there at least and in the index that would be a nice support level. >> this is exactly the trade you want to do. first of all notice that the math works nicely. the other thing i point out it's the out of the money puts on indices that tend to be most overpriced when you look at it. that's where people often go for insurance. you actually want to buy a higher strike and sell with a lot of those other forke folks buying. i like the structure. >> when i'm trading i look at risk management. nice about options, you can define that risk very easily. right f

does this scare you off netflix, alan?think a lot in life is unpredictable but looking at price of netflix it is rallied $120 in the last couple of weeks. it is really trading sideways between 408 and 320. when you trade the stock lop off a zero to make it palatable. trading between 48 and 32. you look for buying opportunity. it had a good gap to the upside. i wait for pullback. they figure it out. they continue to grow subscribers and monetize. that's what they do well. liz: steven, look, the competition is out there. dish and cbs said they will offer over the top type program and streaming and things like that. not to mention you have amazon getting into that party. does it get too crowded here and maybe that is what s&p is talking about? >> yes, it does get too crowded. in a sense, netflix is competing against news corp and competing against time warner and competing against other companies like cbs that you mentioned have plenty of free cash flow. what s&p pointed out, netflix will not have free cash flow. how do you c

netflix is a leading provider of video online for feature films and so on.o they want to allow competitors into their space? is this about saving money for them? >> no competition is great. if netflix has more competition they have to work harder and users will benefit from that. there is great competition on the internet company side. there is almost no competition on the internet service provider broadband side. the fcc put out a report that 75% of american households have no choice in broadband provider. one or zero choices for regular high-speed broadband, and that has to change and that's a problem. >> it is interesting also because there are competing services. we haven't seen this, where the isp's are providing a lot of content that is directly competitive. do you think we will see more of that? >> possibly. that is one of the great things about the internet, it's hard to predict what the next big thing will be. part of the reason why we need net neutrality rules that are strong and enforceable and sustainable is to ensure that whatever the next gener

that's good news for netflix. cnbc's julia boorstin is live. >> since the show first premiered two years ago, its stock has nearly tripled as its nearly doubled its subscription base showing the $100 million investment in the show has more than paid off. now "house of cards'" third season will be instrumental in keeping viewers hooked and adding new ones. net flx is facing more competition from amazon upping its ante as it invests more in originals. and there's the new sling tv. plus netflix is losing dozens of titles in its library next month. maintaining the buzz of shows like "house of cards" is why the company is ramping up investment in originals, raising an additional $1.5 billion earlier this method. that's $500 million more than netflix previously announced. >> julia boorstin, thanks for that. >>> mike khouw, they are investing more in originals. and they say they are spending less on making their own content versus licensing from studios. >> the big issue had been concerned about rising licensing costs. w

who are already on netflix? gets people to come to netflix who aren't there already. do you feel like this season is going continue to do that, given that it's already a brand name. people are talking about it. is this going to dot job? >> yeah. i'm not sure that it does the job more than past seasons do but it's important. it is kind of a model that's a little more similar to hbo where it's not so much the ratings as giving people the sense that to be sort of up on things i need to have this thing, i need netflix. >> maybe people who don't watch it. >> compare it to say a marco polo or alpha house on amazon, still set the standard for shows that are streamed? >> you know, i think it's definitely one of their higher class offerings. netflix is. streamings, quality has been all over the place. marco polo looked fantastic an it was kind of ridiculous. orange is the new black is a fantastic show. it's, you know, still certainly, you know, they're, you know, their flagship show. >> why do you think they did more of

i'm afraid that what we're seeing here is just spin from netflix. netflix entered into agreements for contracts with verizon and comcast to effectively put themselves at the head of the line. in front of millions of other content providers and users on the internet. before netflix entered into that agreement it was treated the same as everybody else. well, that's exactly what title 2 is going to require. it quite likely will prohibit the type of contract that netflix entered into. >> that's their argument. further more what they say is that it lets the isp's congest their networks or make their networks look congested so they could charge that fee. what do you do about that problem creating an incentive for the last mile deliverers of content to create that congestion for the benefit of more income? >> first of all, i deliverers of content to create that congestion for the benefit of more income? >> first of all, i don't agree that there is a problem. i think a lot of this is really a manufactured problem. will prohibit the type of contract that but

netflix is calling the vote a consumer win.bama putting pen to paper to thank reddic support. thanks redditors. wish i could thank every one of you for keeping the internet open and free. why do consumers win? once and for all, what is net neutrality anyway? here's brian stelt ter? >> reporter: what is net neutrality. nothing to do with a volleyball or tennis court. the net refers to the internet something that's become as necessary as water and power for most of us. the neutrality part is about keeping the net the way it is today. it's a set of rules the fcc approved in 2010 to prevent speed traps on the information superhighway. in other words speeding up access to some sites and slowing down access to others or blocking certain sites entirely. so are these rules a bad thing? it depends who you ask. the companies that deliver your internet like comcast, verizon, at&t have spent millions in lobbying money to get rid of net neutrality arguing that having the government micromanage their business is not good for them or their co

netflix has been compelled to pay to get ahead of the line.s a company that opposes having to make those kind of things. let me read a statement from reed hastings, the ceo of netflix. what he had to say about this specifically, he said strong net neutrality prevents isp's from charging a toll to services like never ask. they must provide significant access to their network without charge. he goes on to say "allowing fast lanes gives isps the perverse incentive to allow networks to congest, and the power to pick winners and losers on the internet." this is a company that has been compelled to pay this to comcast, to verizon, to get ahead of the line. harold i respectfully disagree. :i am afraid that what we are seeing here has just been from netflix. netflix entered into agreements for contracts with verizon and comcast to effectively put themselves at the head of the line, in front of millions of other content providers and users on the internet. before netflix entered into that agreement, it was treated the same as everyone else. that is wha

netflix is one third. in asia, bit torrent leads the way.t torrent pipes to watch pirated shows. it is a company that developed a format for people to share files. a lot of people use it for pirated content. in the rest of the world, bit torrent is youtube dominates in latin america and europe. netflix is looking to their expansion in europe and the rest of the world. >> the company demands on the u.s. domestic subscriber growth is slowing got. >> 39.1 million subscribers in the u.s. the international subscriber growth rate is stripping the growth rate here at home. the key here is that netflix is sweeping more money out of every us-based coustomer. it is going to get more expensive for customers, too. they recently increased prices. for existing customers, and does not go up until 2016. people will have to pay from one dollar to four dollars more. it will pay for expensive shows like "house of cards" and "orange is the new black." they're hoping people get addicted to shows like "house of cards." >> what have you heard about season three? >

"house of cards" is back on netflix.on three. >> david wells say the new season will be responsible for the addition of as much as 150,000 new domestic subscribers, but the show is even more important for cementing netflix as a must have subscription. it's facing more competition than ever from amazon investing more in originals. a stand-alone hbo service, health insurance in the works, and the new sling tv. and netflix is losing dozens of titles from its library next month. now, netflix needs buzz generating exclusive shows like house of cards and marvel's "daredevil" which is launching next month, to help keep subscribers. those original costs are one reason the streaming service raised an additional $1.5 billion earlier this month. up from the $1 billion debt raised it had previously announced. in a world where content is king netflix needs that money to produce more must see exclusiveives like house of cards. >> how much will shares get of house of cards. trading lower by 1.5% but up nearly 40% year-to-date. lead int

thanks to netflix, a man in minnesota has his stolen property back. last july, david came home, his front door had been kicked in. several things, including an ipad, a computer, a handgun and his new smart tv had been stolen. well, then a a couple of months ago, he noticed some shows he never watched popping up on his account. that netflix access was traced to a comcast internet address and then to someone's house. >> once you connect something to the internet, this system automatically talks to everything. >> that's interesting. police say besides that television, other items were found inside that house house. they say the smart tv was doing exactly what it was designed to do. >> very interesting. yesterday we were having a story about tvs that you are not supposed to talk in front of them because they have voice recognition. >>> all right. we're gonna check in with sal. get an update on the situation in emeryville. >> that's right. westbound 8 on the 80 -- westbound 80, at the macarthur maze. the fire department and medics have gone. now it's a que

netflix claims a technical glitch and pulled the episodes within minutes. amplegdzs a post on the -- afterwards a post on the "house of cards" twitter page says this is washington. there's always a leak. the full episodes will come out february 27. it's always nice to get an early gift. >> absolutely. >>> we're getting an additional gift from mother nature. >> it's not spring. >> wintry mix turning into more snowy mix. >> this is just one of two little gifts of winter we have for you. today we're going to see n some snow showers, even a little bit of drizzle out there. it's -- not everything is touching the ground. that's not the big deal. the big deal is the temperatures, the wind. it's going to be brutal tomorrow morning. then it gets colder by sunday. let's take a look at satellite and radar. you can see all the snow showers kind of working their way down. you though, we saw them come down. if you look out the window, a lot of people are saying hey, it's really coming down out there but nothing really accumulated . if you have a picture, send it our way.

but for the first time giving companies like netflix google and amazon the availability that if they believe they are being charged unreasonable rates or being discriminated against to come in and file a complaint and say they are discrippleminating against us under the communication act. this is a very big thing. this is where it goes further than the president's position which is a point i wanted to make before. there are two places where our proposal is stronger than president obama's proposal. one is in that he didn't call for us to exurt authority over interconnections and we are not only using title ii but section 706 and title iii of the communication act. we have gone further than the president's proposal >> host: does anyone have the proposal beside those in the agency? >> guest: outside of the agency? no. >> host: when will it become public so we can read it? >> guest: that will be after february 26th. >> host: what happens on february 26th? >> guest: we will take a vote and we need two people to vote. >> host: do you think you will get that? >> guest: i cannot speak were t

if i'm netflix and i'm going to take up 80% of the broadband during time time why should netflix nott that 75% of americans have no choice. >> how is that possible in days of satellite? >> for high speed broadband which people expect. >> yes, for high-speed broadband, that's exactly right. they raised the definition of high speed broadband. >> that's what people expect of having multiple devices, being able to stream video. that's the major point here. there's no competition, you have no choice. and the d.c. circuit court found that a lot of these cable companies operate as a terminated monopoly. and the internet provider should not be able to play gate keeper and tell you what the size or what the quality. >> no provider plays gate keeper blocks content. that's a complete red herring. you know that as well as i do. >> the reason that we're here in in the first place having this conversation there are rules in effect in 2010 that verizon sued. >> both sides saying verizon was wrong in that. >> if you look at what julius cancowsky proposed -- >> well, verizon struck it down because th

this is something that netflix and other content providers, unsurprisingly, have been pushing for.he big broadband providers are not too happy about this and you may yet see them challenge this ruling in court. >> what they seem to be saying is, hold on, these regulations were actually designed for the dark ages. for the telegraph, i think one of them said. and that they just don't apply to the internet. >> that is right. one of the big broadband herbal providers -- broadband providers said it is not just for the telegraph, but the steam locomotive. what they were talking about is that the fcc requested by the internet as a public utility, a public good. and that gives them the powers to regulate. it gives them more powers. obviously, it means they can now stop internet service providers from slow and fast lanes. the argument being put forth by these big companies is that you are using an old law that gives you very broad powers, and they are worried it could be abused. hence, this argument is far from over i suspect. >> internet providers and consumers will be watching it closely.
