I’m amazed that this still happens. I understand the desire to chest thump by the CEO of AT&T , HBO 's new owner, but here’s just a gentle reminder about other CEOs that have been dismissive of Netflix : - In 2000, John Antioco, former CEO of Blockbuster , once dismissed Netflix as a “niche product” - In 2010, NBCUniversal Media, LLC , Chief Executive Jeff Bewkes, dismissed the idea of Netflix being successful as “a little bit like, is the Albanian army going to take over the world? I don’t think so” See a pattern? Even taken at face-value these comments makes no sense. - Prestige? This year Netflix bested HBO to end their 17-year streak of having the most Emmy nominations. - Financial? Walmart 's revenues were $485B last year, Tiffany & Co. revenues were $4B Don't get me wrong, Netflix is not perfect, but seeing yet another CEO make this kind of remark in 2018 signals to me that he hasn't been paying attention. #netflix #atandt #hbo #ott #streaming #tiffanyandco #Leadership #walmart #nbc #nbcuniversal #comms #communications #blockbuster …see more
