CantellTV Presents: The end of movies distributed by TV channels?

Computer industry is huge. Who could imagine everyday life without all the electronic gadgets we are already used to? Maybe some daredevils, but by any means one would have a huge difficulty just to survive in the world full of high technology. Even more successful business attracting more and more followers is show business especially that one focused on movie making. Movies, though, don't provide us just with one-sided opportunity to produce them. The entire idea of cinematography is much wider. Nowadays, there is a strong tension and competition in the field of conveying of movies. In the past, people were absolutely satisfied with the fact that they own a TV set which enables them to watch variety of films and they didn't feel restricted by offer, time or range of them. Internet brought a huge revolution also in movie industry. Chance to see a wanted story or a favorite actress started to seem unlimited. Furthermore, you didn't need to pay enormous amount of money to get new releases just on time, internet connection allowed you to get it immediately and free, too. For those who prefer more sophisticated way of watching a movie debut, various companies began to saturate also this demand. In the present, in times when Apple Inc. is launching its enter to this industry through online distribution of movies, Netflix, another competitor in the branch, feels a need to do more to serve the customers. Until now, Netflix worked as following: customers paid for a plan that was based on renting particular number of DVDs, but they were restricted by the duration of the streaming service that was available for them. After the innovations of Apple were announced, Netflix changed its way of the business to assist customers. In the case of exceeding the subscribed access, they won't be charged extra, that means customers are able to stream as many programs, shows and film as they like. Changes and progress are crucial to keep a company on the highest position. And it is efficient as well that the competition is being fostered by newer and newer debuts also in this industrial branch. However, the shares of Netflix don't seem to increase in a capital way, Apple Inc. is just too substantial. And another fact is also major. Still, most people seem to prefer watching movies on TVs. That is also an issue that is constantly researched by both Apple and Netflix.
