Netflix Ends DVD-by-Mail Service.

Netflix is shutting down its DVD-by-mail rental service, which was once a trailblazing concept, on September 29th. The service generated $145.7 million in revenue last year, with an estimated 1.1 to 1.3 million subscribers. The service's popularity has dwindled over the years, but it still has die-hard fans who appreciate finding obscure movies that aren't widely available on video streaming. Netflix ended last year with nearly 231 million worldwide subscribers to its video streaming service.
