Collusion results when two or more companies get together to
provide cooperation within their industry to reduce the competitive of firms
not part of this collusion. Netflix has small areas which could be taken as collusion
as to increase their competitiveness within industry. This can be demonstrated
by a few of their agreements with other media providers. The one area is in
content, where Netflix has made deals with Disney and some of Disney subsidiaries.
The original programming Netflix has embarked on is in with full cooperation
with Marvel studios, which is owned by Disney. Netflix has also made deals with cable companies that will
host or mirror their video library enabling customers to have greater access to
4k steaming technology. The first one in North America is a deal with Rogers’s
media to provide 4k streaming to Rogers’ customers. This is done even though
Rogers has a streaming service of their own.
