Even attempting to compare the 900 pound OTT gorilla known as Netflix to the little TVOD app that couldn't known as Ultraflix is laughable at best, completely misinformed at worst. Everyone, and I mean everyone that creates a device that displays video of any form for the US market first and foremost insures that their devices are compatible with Netflix.
In fact, these companies bend over backwards to test and retest, working closely with the hundreds of engineers and onboarding specialists Netflix employs to insure compatibility. UF can't get Panasonic, LG, Sharp, etc. or even Sony on the phone, let alone make enough noise that these TV guys want to make time certifying their crap app.
The beast that is Netflix, now the largest pay service in the US with more than 40 million subscribers, now has the device companies begging for what is known as "Netflix Recommended TV" certification. That's right, TV guys actually design and build their technology to make Netflix happy. And if the TV gets the recommendation, the TV guys PAY to print that glowing certification on their boxes and use Netflix logos at THEIR expense in point of purchase advertising to sway consumers.
UF paying for a stray logo randomly here and there on a website does nothing to market the product, let alone substantiate the service in the minds of consumers. They simply don't have the marketing clout (or dollars) to spend, let alone a product that is compelling in the first place.
I could go on and on, but the similarities between the two companies begin and end with the fact that UF ripped off the word "flix" from Netflix. Comparing anything beyond that, or in any way implying UF is in the same universe, let alone the same league as Netflix is comical.
So please, as much as you'd like to dream, saying Netflix and Ultraflix in the same breadth just won't make them in any way, shape or form compatible. It won't help NTEK's stock price. And quite frankly, whenever you compare the two, it makes anything else you post immediately laughable.
P.S. - Netflix is up 90%+ YTD. Want to post those stellar YTD returns for NTEK and compare shareholder value so we can all see just how alike these two companies are?
