PR Win: Netflix Announces 1M Streaming Subscribers In UK And Ireland

Good job Netflix PR: Today the company announced that, just seven months after launch in the UK and Ireland, it has hit 1 million subscribers for its video streaming service. That's pretty impressive, by any measure, but it's also somewhat old news. During last month's Q2 financing results, the company openly talked about its numbers internationally, trumpeting growth in the UK and Ireland in particular, noting that -- yes - it has reached the 1M mark. TechCrunch, of course, reported this milestone at the time, in which Netflix was also quick to point out that it had "pulled ahead" of its European competitor Amazon-owned LOVEFiLM in "every important streaming-related metric." Unlike Netflix in the UK and Ireland, LOVEFiLM doesn't just offer a streaming-only option, but is also playing in the legacy 'DVD rental by post' space, hence Netflix's emphasis on streaming-related metrics.
