Here's what's turning cable's crank as the week gets underway.

Netflix Inc. (Nasdaq: NFLX) expects it may have to fork over US$200 million per year to renew its movie licensing deal with Starz Entertainment LLC , up from its current $30 million annual price tag. (See Netflix to Wait 90 Days for New Starz Fare .)

Comcast Corp. (Nasdaq: CMCSA, CMCSK) has added a 3G/4G mobile hotspot to its Internet 2go product menu, offering subs a pocket-sized device that runs on Clearwire LLC (Nasdaq: CLWR)'s WiMax network and Sprint Corp. (NYSE: S)'s 3G service.

Dish Network LLC (Nasdaq: DISH) will soon begin selling DSL service in Colorado and experiment with a triple-play bundle about five months after buying Denver-based CLEC Liberty Bell.

Some Comcast subs sill soon be able to use TiVo Inc. (Nasdaq: TIVO)'s Premiere DVR to access the MSO's Xfinity VoD service, solving the mystery of an image TiVo released last year that included a Comcast graphic on TiVo's user interface. (See TiVo Building tru2way Version of New Interface.)

Two advocacy groups have urged the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to probe AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T)'s new broadband consumption caps and find out why AT&T thinks it needs them in the first place. (See AT&T Enforces Broadband Caps and AT&T to Fit Subs With Broadband Caps .)

While Rentrak Corp. (Nasdaq: RENT) is releasing the top-10 weekly cable VoD movies, the research firm only discloses how much revenue each movie generates from box-office sales, and doesn't include details on how much pay-TV providers generate from VoD sales. The King's Speech was the top VoD movie the week of April 19, followed by Little Fockers. (See Rentrak Scores MSO Deals.)

The Comcast Media Center (CMC) rebuilt its origination and playout facility in Denver to handle In Demand LLC 's live sports and pay-per-view content.
