Abstract
The video rental marketplace is poised for a battle between one David and two Goliaths. And although opening salvos have already been fired, the potential winner is still difficult to discern. Renting movie videos has become a form of entertainment so mainstream that most of us forget it was once a classic disruptive innovation, undermining all sorts of entertainment-field incumbents in the process. Now another marketplace battle is taking shape within this niche, this time between Blockbuster, the movie-rental giant and former disrupter, and Netflix, an on-line DVD-rental start-up with disruptive aspirations of its own.
