I think Netflix got lucky here and good for them. Now they only have to work on the content in the Canadian version - until then Canadians still have to use tricks like this: http://vpnfreedom.com/netflix/how-to-access-us-netflix-in-canada/

Finally, the CRTC has not caved in to the demands of the big three (Bell, Rogers and Shaw) who have comfortable monopolies going in their respective regions.Taxpayers subsidize Canadian content through tax dollars and added fees by the big three which are either disguised as service fees or, in the case of Bell, blantantly listed as your contribution to Canadian content. The taxpayers subsidize Canadian movies, television shows, CD(s), DVD(s), magazines and more. Enough!

Netflix pays licensing fees for the movies they place in their catalogue; it's not free. When they purchase rights to Canadian content, they pay for it. They are not stealing feeds from the big three or offering bootleg copies. The Canadian media monopolies are very comfortable with all the subsidizes they receive through the back door as tax breaks for producing all the Canadian imitations of U.S. shows, thus, they get back every penny they spend plus what they charge us. That's why it is difficult for them to grasp the concept of an efficient, private sector competitor who doesn't have a spot at the taxpayer's trough.
