Perhaps you didn’t know, but Netflix operates one of the biggest CDNs on the planet: https://openconnect.netflix.com/en/
I suppose we can take turns watching content on their 3 screen(!) plan. My ticket #1,204,394,701 should come up in around 30,000 years.
That said, probably easy enough to deal with that, as I'm guessing most of them take a common device with them? Not sure.
But, yeah, your example is pretty much how I view this. Was nice for a few cases where it was working. But hardly earth shattering.
That said, with how many folks leave their contacts in rental cars, I wouldn't be too shocked to know folks try to login at other locations. I imagine that would be a popular integration with hotel booking systems. Basically, make it so your netflix is attached to the hotel tv when you get there.
My gut is that hotels also don't want that?
