At the scale that Netflix just dealt with? Yeah I honestly think this is a case where less than 5000 people in the world are really qualified to comment.
Not clear what scale they were attempting, but yes delivering a live stream to 10m+ users on the public internet with a reasonable end to end latency (under 30 seconds glass to viewer) is not a trivial problem, and it’s not something Netflix do a lot.
It’s a very different problem to distributing video on demand which is Netflix’s core business.
