## Transcript

Netflix may soon have its strongest competitor yet if this tech giant decides to enter the on demand streaming business. A Variety report says Apple may be pursing a streaming service and original content. The report says the company has already met with Hollywood [ UNKNOWN ] about creating long form content to stream. Making the company a threat to traditional networks as well. The details are still vague and Variety reports the long term goals differ depend on who you ask. But Apple may really have no choice but to aim high since competitor Amazon has already found success making original content.

And Netflix has revved up its efforts for original content, creating original shows and movies on a fairly regular basis. Like a Walmart or Macy's, tech companies could easily use their distribution powers to promote their own products. In which case, Apple might really be needing to play catchup to the tech giants already subverting the entertainment industry.
