For sure we want to make it so we want to require that for at t customers that hbo and netflix are treated the same. Now that they are going to own hbo, e we think special treatment would be inappropriate. But i think thats pretty basic. Besides a few concerns, he says hes not bothered by the deal as long as they are treated the same by regulators. Hastings was asked if he also might consider going after time warner himself to which he responded, quote, next question. And then later clarified that was not a no. Hastings says the reason netflix has been successful is because it stayed out of the space and the company does not do bigger meetings. His stock up almost 100 told since the firm went public 14 years ago. The reason it was key to watch what hes saying is because of this convergence of technologi s technologies. We were trying to analyze the logic in the deal. This idea of content and distribution. Something that netflix has done organically and how its going to change the landscape with google and Facebook Trading at record highs yesterday and time warner itself trading lower on worries a about the deal and about the Regulatory Environment. Definitely a big question having seen a similar type of deal take over in the past. Interesting must read later from steve case.

Back to corporate news, a ton of Earnings Report. Apple will dominate the conversation. We are joined with what to watch when they report after the bell today. Good morning, will. The market is expecting the Third Straight quarter of declines for iphone sales at around 45 million iphones, down from 48 million a year ago. This would be the first decline for apple. Were also expecting a drop for apple down 15 . But it is worth remembering the iphone 67 has only been on sale for a couple weeks during this quarter. We might not see the full potential reflected and that may mean an optic in it that next quarter for iphone 7 sales. Other areas investors are watching include where apple is seeing weakness down about 33 in the last quarter because of tough e competition from local players. Investors are going to be quite keen to see what kind of strength Apple Software and Services Division is going to see given this has been flagged as a future area of growth for the company. Youll get specific commentary on whether they are gaining from the samsung issues or not. The market is expecting to see apple gain somewhere between 2 to 5 of market share from the samsung note 7 debacle. The iphone 7 plus is direct competitor to the note 7 given the screen size. That could mean we see android people jumping over to ios, which would be a huge boost for apple. What have you learned in your reporting about the event where apple is set to unveil new macs . Were looking at a new mac book pro that has a new touch screen on the keyboard. Its thinner, got a sharper resolution, its been a a Long Time Coming this refresh after four years. Apple is hoping this is going to reverse some of those declines its seen in the division of its earnings. We have seen the overall pc market declining quite rapidly. So apple is trying to stop some of those gains and its going to be up to the macbook pros to do that. Its a game of expectation when is it comes to apples stock Price Performance and what it can deliver. How high is the bar going sbo this one . I think what we have seen from previous earning reports is apple has had lofty expectations. But this time around, there was some barrishness when the iphone 7 came out. I think the expectations have been lowered for this Earnings Report given that. So we might actually see perhaps an optic in the share price given that investors arent expecting too much here and especially that we have seen some strong noise from the likes of u. S. Carriers saying that the demand has been strong. Apple itself said preorders sold out. There could be a surprise here for the market. Thank you very much for the color.
