Big picture

Time period Key developments at Netflix
1997–2006 Netflix is founded on a mail-rental DVD service, goes IPO, and faces vicious competition with Blockbuster.
2007–2015 Netflix starts its online subscription service in 2007 (a year after just over 50% of American households have broadband access), and online streaming ultimately forms the basis of Netflix's business model (as usage of DVDs starts declining). Netflix starts internationalization in 2010, reaches over 26 million subscribers worldwide by April 2011, 40.4 million subscribers by September 2013, and 81 million by April 2016. By 2015, it starts accounting for over one-third of all US Internet traffic.[1] As Blockbuster declines, Netflix's primary competition is with other online streaming services like Amazon Video and Hulu in the US.
2016 onward "From 2016 onward, Netflix seemed practically unstoppable. The company’s programming received numerous awards and accolades, including 54 nominations at the 68th Primetime Emmy Awards. Netflix’s feature films became increasingly ambitious and attracted some of Hollywood’s most prominent screenwriters, directors, and actors. Then, in 2017, Netflix achieved what might have once seemed impossible: the number of Netflix subscribers eclipsed the total number of cable subscribers in the United States.

Netflix had effectively become the largest entertainment provider in the world—and showed no signs of slowing down."[2]
