You spend 7 years establishing a brand name that now is synonymous with red envelopes in the mail. How long before society gets accustomed to "I have a Netflix subscription" meaning strictly "I have streaming."<br /><br />It's also interesting that the streaming service was an offspring of the movies-by-mail service, yet keeping the name NETFLIX seems that the streaming is now the parent service.<br /><br />Perhaps they see the writing on the wall. That 7 years from now movies-by-mail will become an inconvenience. Especially if the post office jacks up their prices and stops Saturday delivery. So if it tanks, "Quikster" tanks, not "Netflix."Bill Permanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536377699212722493noreply@blogger.com
