Netflix, Inc. Company Profile

Tapping technologies from multiple eras, Netflix steers couch potatoes away from the video store to the mailbox or Internet. The company's more than 33 million subscribers in 40 countries can download movies or rent DVDs for a monthly fee through Netflix.com. Movies are delivered via the US Postal Service from distribution centers located in major US cities or streamed to some 800 devices including PCs and TVs. Netflix ships some 2 million discs daily in the US. It does not charge late fees or have due dates; its service employs user ratings to predict preferences and make recommendations. Netflix is shifting its focus away from DVD rental to its growing steaming service, particularly overseas.
