predecessors, the door is open for streaming firms to evolve into some of the world's most highly valued media entities.The potential for
Netflix to have a trillion-dollar market cap also has notable implications for rivals Apple and Amazon, which both earned membership into

pricing, and content libraries could impact media consumption as we head toward 2030.
