Netflix has arrived in Canada and while I realize this is all old hat to Americans, it's pretty big news here. I signed up for the service in the first few minutes it was offered. To me, $8 or so a month is the right price to put on unlimited video streaming of movies and television. And I can watch it on my TV, computer, iPod or my (brand new) Wii. The price may seem low, but don't forget, I'm paying for the bandwidth, players and room to watch the videos in - all costs that used to be borne by the content industry.

And as long as Netflix continues to get the content licenses it needs to keep its users happy, their attention -- and dollars -- will will continue to go to Netflix."
