#2Well, it certainly is nice to see that Netflix's promise of securing higher-quality content is at least partially coming to fruition.
Also, it is nice to see a content creator finally start talking seriously about internet streaming versus traditional cable as a means of content delivery.

#3Got excited for new content on Netflix Instant -- then read further and saw it wasn't taking effect until 2013...I am now less excited.

#4DreamWorks Animation, not DreamWorks. That's a much smaller subset of the DreamWorks catalogue. Link bait.

2013 is about 15 months away. Not exactly around the corner, but not two years.

But it could potentially open doors to the bigger catalog if things go well.

There's a lot of things that could happen before there are any meaningful results from that. Even if it's initially a smash hit (however that might be defined), they'd want to see how it does over a longer time span. A year would be the minimum time before anyone else would be making decisions based on that.
I also don't think it adds a lot of additional information that isn't already there. They already have all the Starz content, which they'll likely be losing. But content owners have a model they can see currently. Adding a few additional animated films won't likely change much, and it will be at least 2 years before any meaningful results are out.
There's a much better chance that between now and 2 or 3 years down the road, that something else more significant takes place. Netflix, upon losing the Starz streaming rights, could be out of business. Individual studios could be doing streaming on their own, and finding success with that.

Well, it sounds like it starts sometime in 2013, not necessarily Jan 01. Also, it sounds from the article like Dreamworks will be slowly rolling out past titles, so it could be even longer.
