The future at YouTube seems to be strengthening original content and, according to this announcement, improving access to live events.
In itself, this announcement would not seem to be a legitimate threat to Netflix.
What if YouTube also develops other professional content partnerships while continuing to enhance the quality of its original content?
Could that combination become a threat to Netflix (NFLX)?
It's just one view but Martin Pyykkonen thinks so and says as much in this Barron's article.

The analyst goes on to say that YouTube's immediate advantage over Netflix and other competitors is broad distribution across all devices (PCs, mobile phones, tablets, IP-enabled TVs, etc).
I think it's pretty tough to guess where this is all going but great to watch it play out.
