In a move that signals the tip of the iceberg for content delivery of the future, Netflix has agreed to wait 28 days to make available new titles from Time Warner, allowing Time Warner to cash in on the lucrative DVD sales that studios so cherish when movies are released to DVD. In exchange, Netflix for its part receives access to a larger library of content that it can make available for streaming, something the company desperately needs to grow that aspect of its business. It remains to be seen if other studios will follow in Time Warner’s footsteps to allow Netflix greater access to its libraries for streaming in exchange for more DVD sales.
