1. “One of my favorite moments of all of the weaving back and forth was it wasn't Comcast specifically, but you had Reed Hastings on stage at an All Things D or a Code Conference, and you asked him about net neutrality, which we will come to in the course of this conversation. And he was like, yeah, it's over. We're big enough. It doesn't matter anymore. And that's in many ways this was a pivotal moment in the history of internet and content because what he was saying was that he had reached enough scale so that the distributors, the power now had to come to his terms. And if you look back, I think you can trace almost everything that's happened to that moment. Netflix announcing to you that they were big enough that everyone had to deal with them.”
