Good points. But please note that this article was written almost a year ago. Lots of things have changed in this space and I am not following everything.

Hulu provides high quality, hi-res video of recent and current shows, and Netflix provides low quality streams of really old stuff. (Actually, Netflix used to have great online video, but they stuffed it up by changing their player.) Hulu might have a little advertising, but it's not as much as your local TV channel, and they often offer a choice of how you get it. In contrast, Netflix want real money from you! If they can't provide quality online video for your dollar, it seems inconceivable that their users will continue to want to pay for it when higher quality video is readily available.

I've used both BB and Netflix and am a current Netflix user. But BB has recognized their strength and their newest plans cater to folks who are primarily instore renters, and might dabble online. I love Netflix, but often find myself at Redbox for rentals. Netflix with any kind of physical presence could be the nail in the coffin. I’d love to see an alliance between Netflix and Redbox.
