Netflix, Inc. Company Profile

Tapping technologies from multiple eras, Netflix steers couch potatoes away from the video store to the mailbox or PC. The company's more than 26 million subscribers are offered DVD rentals 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. An agreement with TiVo, which gives TiVo customers with certain DVRs access to Netflix movies and TV shows, has spawned similar services.
