Internet is the new TV.

The comments are the most interesting:

Netflix has some CDN, with partnership with some ISP to install their
caching boxes Netflix OCA:

Otherwise, on the p2p front, there is peerflix:

And PopcornTime is back:

"In July 2005, after several failed attempts to legalise software
patents in Europe, the patent establishment changed its strategy.
Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of
software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent
court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their
favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or
democratically elected legislators."
