In this video, Motley Fool analyst John Reeves tells us what great news this is for Netflix, just as the competition is heating up from places like Amazon (AMZN 1.26%) with its Amazon Prime service, and even Apple (AAPL -0.59%). Reeves still says Netflix is the best streaming service out there, and hopes to see more of these deals for the company in the future to bolster its moat a bit.
