Streaming Movies Costs Netflix 10 Times Less Than Mailing Them

Netflix loves that so many of us have turned to the convenience of streaming. It costs Netflix 3 cents to stream a standard definition movie, and 5 cents for HD; that's why they'd rather stream than mail you a disc.

Some of the extra change saved goes back to the production studios, who used to only get revenue from DVD sales. [Business Week via Hacking Netflix and Trefis]
