Netflix is, at the moment, the most popular streaming service. With Netflix, we can watch full-length movies, TV series, documentaries, and more. Netflix app on Android, for example, totals more than 500 million downloads, proving the popularity of the streaming service on mobiles. Now, Netflix 6.24.0 Build 2 31642 rolled out on Android with several improvements.
Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph founded Netflix in 1997, and in 1998 it became the world’s first online DVD rental store. In 2000, when Netflix totaled 300,000 subscribers, Netflix’s founders declined a $50 million offer from Blockbuster, its rival at that time. In 2001, however, Netflix experienced massive growth, but the “dot-com bubble” burst and the September 11 WTC terrorist attacks affected the company in late-2001.
Fast forwarding, in 2007, Netflix moved from its core business, which was selling and renting DVDs, to offering videos on demand over the Internet, a business model quite similar to what the service is providing nowadays. By January 2013, Netflix totaled 29 million subscribers worldwide, but 27 million of them were US-based. Netflix started to expand globally and support other platforms, as well, thanks to the increased popularity of mobile devices.
