Here is an excellent interview on the streaming market and delivery to
consumers:

Netflix offers the ability to become a developer using its API:

This (free) development process lets you create channels with potential
global distribution and delivery using Roku, Wii,  PS3, PCs, Macs, and XBOX.

There is huge potential for collaboration using this method to create
library oriented channels and marketing library services. Library channels
could deliver author talks, book reviews, library development, best
practices in library management, children's programming and more.
