Reed Hastings, CEO of online DVD renter Netflix, has acknowledged that it is only a matter of time before people stop renting DVDs. “Renting DVDs through the mail in 25 years? For sure, that’s not going to exist,”.

Hastings acknowledged that the end could come far sooner than 25 years. However, he added, “If one thinks of Netflix as a DVD rental business, one is right to be scared. If one thinks of Netflix as an online movie service with multiple different delivery models, then one’s a lot less scared.” Hastings said that Netflix is “aggressively” investing in its Internet delivery system, putting $40 million into it this year. “We’ll be up to 5,000 films by the end of the year,” he said.

Market leader Lovefilm now estimates that online DVD rental as a whole now accounts for 25% of all DVDs rented in the UK, including all the bricks-and-mortar stores. Not bad for an industry which didn’t exist just a few years ago.

UK DVD rental market leader lovefilm is considering a sale or a £100 million pounds stock market flotation.  A stock market float could be up to year away though, according to sources.

The value of company stems from the nearly 600,000 subscribers it has amassed in just 4 years of business. It generates more than 6 million postal transactions each month. In 2005, revenues from the combined Lovefilm / Screenselect group were £25 million pounds, though they have expanded considerably since then.

Lovefilm has come in from criticism from users over its claim to offer ‘unlimited’ DVD rentals in its unlimited adverts.

It was revealed that they practice “throttling”. This is where high-volume users may experience a greater likelihood of slower delivery from alternate warehouses, and selections from lower in their rental queue. They are also less likely to receive replacement shipments on the same day a disc is received
