Netflix Streaming-only Plan Release Date? Information

It is rumored that Netflix is preparing a $7.99 and an $8.99 streaming-only plan, that is, a plan that does not include mail-order DVDs or Blu-ray discs. This plan would be cheaper than the $9.99 streaming + DVD plan that is currently offered. Given that there is little profit margin left in an $8/month plan, this may remain a rumor. It is currently undergoing testing, with no firm release date yet announced.
