After starting and waging the war for NN for the past five years, Netflix is now fine with what we got and what we are going to get. Netflix has basically admitted that it was all a ruse to get what they wanted. Now that they got what they wanted, they don't care about what happens to it. NN was always about Billion dollar companies fighting billion dollar companies to get what they want. It had nothing to do with consumers or what they would ever have to pay.

This was my number one concern with the concept and a big problem for the NN supporters. One company was essentially controlling the message and that was Netflix. Now that Netflix has what they want, they don't care. I love the services Netflix offers, but their lobbying efforts are shady as hell.
