Greenwire: French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius today dismissed a U.S. House vote to gut the cornerstone of President Obama's international climate change promises, saying opposition in Congress won't derail talks here toward a new agreement. "My sense was that wasn't a great surprise, what happened. We know the position that the Congress has, at least the position of many Republicans in Congress," Fabius said. "In fact, we discussed this the other day with President Obama when we were having dinner....

Guardian: Perhaps its being forced to think about global matters and the dangers they pose, but the UKs foreign secretary Philip Hammond, like his Conservative predecessor, both understands the risks of climate change and the urgent need to act. In a powerful speechthis week, he said: Taking action to combat climate change is the right thing to do - the conservative thing to do. Hammond had deliberately picked a tough crowd: the American Enterprise Institute, the free-marketeers who have for years have...
Netflix customer growth slows in US, still strong abroad
2015-10-15 08:45:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Netflix reported a slowdown in customer growth in the US in the third quarter, but grew faster than expected at its international activities. In the US, the company added 0.88 million new streaming customers, less than the 1.15 million forecast, for a total 44.83 million. Netflix blamed the weak performance on the transition to chip-based payment cards in the US, which led to higher "involuntary churn". At the international activities, the company gained 2.74 million customers, more than the 2.4 million forecast, for a total 25.99 million customers at the end of September. Total revenues rose to USD 1.581 billion from 1.223 billion a year ago, in line with the company's guidance, while net profit dropped to USD 29 million fro USD 59 million due to the costs of expanding abroad. Continued spending on original content also led to negative free cash flow of USD 229 million in the quarter. Netflix said losses from the international operations are expected to increase on a sequential basis in Q4, as the streaming service launches in the new markets of Portugal, Spain and Italy. Customer growth is forecast at 1.65 million in the US and 3.50 million abroad in the final quarter of the year, and revenues are expected to grow to USD 1.67 billion.

Hulu gently casts eye abroad - CEO
2015-10-06 10:36:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Streaming TV service Hulu CEO Mike Hopkins said that the company is looking at new markets though it doesn not have current plans for international expansion, Bloomberg reported. Speaking at a TV industry conference in Cannes, Hopkins said that it was looking at adoption and broadband penetrations around the world. The CEO said Hulu is still on the hunt for an original series hit that would define its service in the same way that "The Sopranos" lifted Time Warner's HBO more than a decade ago, "Mad Men" lifted AMC and "South Park" lifted Comedy Central. Hopkins sees multi-channel bundling in the US thriving "for years to come," and said that most customers add internet-delivered over-the-top (OTT) content from providers such as Hulu or Netflix without turning off their cable subscriptions. So-called shaving or downsizing of TV packages is "more of an issue," he said, citing Showtime and HBO offering their own streaming services so consumers don't have to pay for them through a TV provider.
