You have all ready said your a streamer I think DVD only customers where left out
The Internet does not have to be "deleted" - he is just referring to the fact that ISPs are owned by cable companies, and it seems likely that one of two things happens:Well OK, Bob Haller, I mean TheKrell, you win your debate when the world deletes the internet. How often do Bob's stupid predictions come true? Hey, Netflix doesn't have to sell to millions of people who live without the internet, they just need to dominate the world market of those who do have the internet. Don't forget, Netflix as with Dish, is demonstrating they have the willingness to survive any change in the way the world does things. Dish is moving toward streaming too, not away from it. Don't rule out Netflix launching their own satellites if the world outlaws the internet or all ISP's go up in a blaze as you suggest.

Boy is what I am hearing is true then on Friday a lot of DISH Network customers are going to be VERY happy.

To anyone who has a memory, this move is not news except for the timing. Many of you might recall I mentioned this was Reed Hasting's ( Netflix CEO) goal in the long run. We just didn't know when. Back last winter he stated that soon the DVD rental by mail will need to be replaced with streaming and will become the dominant service at Netflix. I believe in the future and progress. Continuing mail order DVD rentals is a dying business concept with no future at the costs Netflix charges. It will radically increase in cost to Netflix to execute primarily due to increase shipping. Increase in cost to subscribers due to fewer and fewer DVD's cycled per month due to the planned reduction of US mail delivery. Hastings knows this and is planning now to fix this by moving to a better technology for the service. Yet, he is called by one sat guy member as stupid. I guess that individual must still have dialup internet or has never used high speed broadband video HD streaming.
What I see happening is that in the near future, the Quickster will suffer huge margin losses for the business, Netflix which will own it as a wholly owned subsidiary. It will try to spin it off as a niche business with no growth potential or it will simply shut it down. The move is toward streaming, everywhere. Face it, if you love DVD mail order your're screwed because it will go away like VHS tape rentals. Streaming is not a dead end to quality either. It will continue to improve, both on the distribution end as well as your ISP end. Everyone in the industry is working toward that goal, not to figuring out how to lower mail order prices.
In the short term, Netflix has made a bold move that is scaring the FUD people now, but in a year these FUD people will see the benefit of a low cost way to get movies and video entertainment content at the lowest cost.
Also, as far as the growth of Netflix is concerned, the business has recently expanded to 43 new countries for streaming service. No figures are public yet for this initial expansion. While Blockbuster and Hulu are small US based operations, Only Netflix is poised to be a global streaming media service with no real competition. It is this reason I have moved my investment position on Netflix to Long Investment as opposed to Trading it every few weeks.

no email at all this week the only time in 7 years that a did not get a received or shipped notice from themI'm DVD only, and I didn't get it.
Can anybody explain to me how Netflix (or Quikster) will be able to sign better agreements with the studios once they split themselves in two? They will obviously have fewer subscribers, even assuming more don't get disgusted with them and bail.
FWIW, I am still receiving my emailed notices from Netflix for DVDs shipped and received. Still no email on the spurious name change.no email at all this week the only time in 7 years that a did not get a received or shipped notice from them
