Netflix says users can cancel service if HBO Max merger makes it too expensive
摘要
Netflix联合CEO泰德·萨兰多斯在美国参议院听证会上表示，若Netflix完成对华纳兄弟探索公司流媒体及影视业务的收购，不会导致市场垄断或价格上涨。他辩称此举将增强行业竞争，而非减少竞争。目前Netflix是全球用户最多的订阅视频点播服务商，华纳兄弟探索公司位列第三。萨兰多斯强调，若用户认为合并后服务价格过高，可随时取消订阅。
There is concern that subscribers might be negatively affected if Netflix acquires Warner Bros. Discovery’s (WBD's) streaming and movie studios businesses. One of the biggest fears is that the merger would lead to higher prices due to Netflix having less competition. During a Senate hearing today, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos suggested that the merger would have an opposite effect.
Sarandos was speaking at a hearing held by the US Senate Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy, and Consumer Rights, “Examining the Competitive Impact of the Proposed Netflix-Warner Brothers Transaction.”
Sarandos aimed to convince the subcommittee that Netflix wouldn’t become a monopoly in streaming or in movie and TV production if regulators allowed its acquisition to close. Netflix is the largest subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) provider by subscribers (301.63 million as of January 2025), and WBD is the third (128 million streaming subscribers, including users of HBO Max and, to a smaller degree, Discovery+).
