Unfortunately if BB goes 'away' then that makes Netflix the 'only' player and they will be able to increase their rates (as they just did for Blu-Ray) anytime they want since they'll be no one else to compete. Competition is good and this would remove any serious contender to Netflix. I love Netflix but I don't want it to turn into a "Microsoft".
I just canceled my blockbuster subscription. I am moving to Netflix.
But there are plenty of other players in the market. One of the biggest is VOD. The Cable Company makes it easy for consumers to make a very easy POS purchase using their Box. For sure, Netflix is in the lead, but there are plenty of other ways to easily get movies to your television screen.

If there is a market, there will be competitors. Besides, if BB gets the hell out, then hometown movie stores may begin to return...
