Netflix - Introduction of DVDs
Time: Monday Mar 24, 1997
Place: Santa Cruz, California, U.S.
Details: When Marc Randolph and Reed Hastings heard about DVDs, first introduced in the United States on March 24, 1997, they tested the concept of selling or renting DVDs by mail by mailing a compact disc to Hastings' house in Santa Cruz. When the disc arrived intact, they decided to take on the $16 billion home-video sales and rental industry.
