“We’re thrilled that Canadians have embraced Netflix so rapidly, and are we’re equally proud to have welcomed one million members in such a short period,” said Reed Hastings, Netflix CEO and co-founder.
In the US, Netflix is increasing subscription costs. Although the streaming-only service will remain the same, the DVD-by-Mail service is now offered as a separate service (but downplayed) for an additional $7.99 per month. If you want Blu-ray Discs you’ll have to pay an additional $2 per month. Current US subscribers will see their rates change starting in September.
