It looks like Japan has their own version of a Netflix imitator. From what I can tell, it's called Posren, but I can't read Japanese.
*UPDATE*
Netflix Fan reader Andy writes: "Just a comment for your recent post. The company is actually called "Live Door" and not "posren." The "posren" is actually "postorento" or "Postal Rent" in the Japanese script. My wife, a Japanese citizen, says Live Door is similar to Google in Japan. The cost per month is 2079 Yen or $17.96 USD."
That price might be for the one-out plan.
Thanks for the update Andy!
hey does anybody have an idea whether "distributing DVD's by mail" business model can be patented???

Netflix DOES have a patent on their business model, but they have chosen not to enforce it at this time. They haven't said why.
