今日科技：Netflix更改定价方案

    ·网飞（Netflix）宣布将更改其低端价格方案。原9.9美元包月的DVD租赁和流媒体下载服务现在被拆分成两个单独的方案：其中无限流媒体下载方案（不含DVD租赁）的包月价为7.99美元；无限DVD租赁方案的包月价也是7.99美元，但每次只限租一张光盘（不含流媒体下载）。这意味着如果你既想看流媒体下载，又想租DVD，你就要比现在多花60%的钱，也就是每月要花15.98美元。我的同事丹•普利马克认为，网飞的提价将对美国邮政（the Postal Service）造成打击，因为去年网飞的DVD邮寄业务大约占了美国邮政一类“平邮”业务的20%。【网飞和《财富》(Netflix and Fortune)】

    ·Netflix announced changes to the low end of its pricing scheme. The "all-you-can-eat" DVD and streaming plan for $9.99 was split into two separate plans: $7.99 for unlimited streaming (no DVDs) and $7.99 for unlimited DVDs, one disc at a time (no streaming). That means if you want to keep streaming and renting DVDs, you'll need to pony up 60% more moving forward, or $15.98 a month. Colleague Dan Primack argues the changes will hurt the Postal Service, since Netflix's expenditures on DVD postage made up roughly 20% of the Postal Service's first-class "flats" last year.
