And then I'll stop. Promise. Or maybe not.
Post article talks about NetFlix facing competition from cable and from DVD-rental competitors. They mention Blockbuster, which will start a similar sort of monthly-subscription, no late fee service, but you'll have to go to the store to get your DVDs (at least, when the service starts). And they mention that on-demand cable downloads may turn out to be competition, as well, although you'd miss out on all the DVD-only extras.
More disconcerting is the likelihood of a price rise, from $20 per month to $22 per month, needed because the service is so labor-intensive (stuffing DVDs into envelopes to mail them out and individually checking the DVDs when they come back in). To me, it'd still be worth it.
