NYTimes: Netflix Is Said to Be Close to Acquiring a Television Show
Netflix may be on the verge of acquiring its first original television series, “House of Cards,” a drama to be directed by David Fincher.

Picking up the exclusive rights to a television show would effectively make Netflix a network similar to ABC or HBO and would underscore just how disruptive the company has become to the media business.
That makes Netflix a company to admire. And makes you wonder why there aren’t more ‘original programming” internet television stations out there. The cost of streaming would be part of it, obviously, but it makes me wonder if there’s a model for peer-to-peer television networks. That would be awesome.
