The Online DVD rental business in UK enables a person to rent DVDs by mail. The customer can interact with the company through their web site.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

The customer enrols as a member in the company and creates a list of titles he requires. The company mails the DVDs from the list to the customer who will return them to the company after viewing them.

Most companies allow the customer to keep the DVDs as long as they want but the number of discs they can keep at a time is limited. However some companies have fixed a monthly limit for the discs that the customer can hire. Memberships are usually billed monthly which include the postage both ways. There are companies lending video games. Some of the leading dvd rental service providers are
LOVEFiLM DVD Rental, Tesco, WHSmith.

TYPES OF PLANS
There are various types of membership plans, like unlimited, limited, package, individual rentals, and peer to peer.

Unlimited Plan: There is no limit on the total number of discs one can borrow, but at any one time they can borrow only a fixed number of discs. Monthly charges vary according to the number of discs one take each time. The nomenclature “unlimited” is a misnomer, as there is a limit on the number of DVDs borrowed by the customer. Further the delay involved in the postal services and the distance between the customer and the companies etc. are to be taken into account in this system.

Limited Plan: Under this scheme there are limits for the number of discs rented out at a time, and also on the total number of discs issued in each billing period, usually a month. This system is cheaper than the unlimited plan, and is also a bit flexible as it allows taking more than the maximum number of discs permitted, by paying extra costs. There is no credit system for those who are not using the maximum available under the scheme.

Package: Some companies send a certain number of discs together in one pack at fixed intervals and the customer has to return them in the same way.

Individual rentals: In this system the customer has to pay only at piece rate depending on the type, age, and popularity of the disc. There is no monthly fee. This system is popular among those who borrow occasionally.

Peer to Peer trading: Under this system the individual customers are able to exchange discs between them with the knowledge of the company.

PATTERN OF DISTRIBUTION
In each country the pattern of distribution differ depending on the efficiency of the postal system. There are companies who have their own distribution network to reduce the delivery time. Cross border shipping is very impractical due to various restrictions like distribution rights and cost of DVDs.

The Samsung U100 ia a 2007 model mobile phone. Mobile-Review reviews the Samsung U100 and writes about display, “The display works in landscape mode, similarly the Samsung X820. This screen type is typical for the previous generation handsets by Samsung, but not for a new offering. It has 220×176 pixel resolution (38×30 mm, 2 inches). There can be up to 5 text lines placed on the display and up to three lines for service needs. The display itself is almost identical to that found in the X820 quality-wise, only the size is a little bit larger – it is 2mm taller and 2mm wider. Texts are pretty much comfortable to read in landscape orientation. This display is capable of showing up to 262 K colors, the picture looks vibrant and is very legible in different environments, including bright sunlight. The only shortcoming is the glossy glass protecting the screen which is a fingerprints magnet, exposing all smudges while in the sun.” Keep reading →

The Nokia E61i is a 2007 model mobile phone. This phone is a renewal for Nokia E61 business-smartphone. Improved design and internal 2MP camera are the differences. PCmag reviews the Nokia E61i and writes, “The E61i impresses with its sleek, thin, aluminum and black plastic enclosure. At 4.6 by 2.8 by 0.5 inches, the phone’s thinness is partially offset by its width. Sure, it’s a bit ungainly to hold to your ear, though not nearly as bad as the brick-like i-mate JAQ. It weighs 5.3 ounces, putting it in the middle zone between svelte 3.5-ounce BlackJacks and fat 6.4-ounce Treos. The 2.8-inch, 320- by 240-pixel widescreen doesn’t come close to the T-Mobile Wing’s or Motorola Q’s in brightness, but it’s sharp and easy to read. The menu backdrops are done up in a drab gray just like the E62’s; a little extra pizzazz would go a long way here.” Keep reading →
