Netflix Launches Streaming Only Services

Netflix

Netflix launched a streaming-only video subscription service and has raised the price of its combined unlimited streaming and rent-by-mail service by $1.  They cited that subscribers were watching more content streamed over the Internet than on DVDs delivered by mail.
