Netflix has Invested its Share in the Content Ecosystem

Greg Peters has pushed back on calls for an “Entertainment Tax” on streaming companies proposed by internet service provider (ISP) partners. In his unique way, the Netflix co-CEO has presented the company’ stand over investing in technology, content, the creative industry for the state-of-the-art – studios, sound stages, creative communities, Content Delivery Networks (CDN) – Open Connect, encoding Technology, cultural levies and investment obligations and so on.

At the MWC23, in a keynote address, Peters said a tax on the content plarforms or creative content would reduce investment in content and its relative ecosystem, hurting the creative community.

European Commission Call for Regulation

“ISPs claim that these taxes would only apply to Netflix. But this will inevitably change over time as broadcasters shift from linear to streaming.” His speech comes days after the European Commission (EU) called for regulation designed to create a cheaper and more effective roll-out of gigabit networks across the EU, terming it Fair Share on Big Tech. Telecom companies are pushing European regulators to consider charging tech giants to help fund massive upgrades to their infrastructure, with the 5G roll-out ongoing.

“Some of our ISP partners have proposed taxing entertainment companies to subsidise their network infrastructure. But as Commissioner Breton said, it shouldn’t be a binary choice between Big Telco or entertainment companies,” Peters said during his keynote on Tuesday.
