No Qwikster after all; and no impact on the Spokane Netflix center
The weekend surprise from Netflix was the news that it dropped plans to spin off its streaming service and rename the DVD-only service as Qwikster.
Instead, the company has just gone back to the way it was.
That flip and flop won't affect the nearest Netflix distribution center, on Spokane's West Plains near the Spokane Airport. See the map here showing all the Netflix distribution locations: http://www.moviesinhouse.com/articles/netflix-shipping-centers.html
We'll have a local angle on the Qwikster-Netflix development next week in the business pages of The Spokesman-Review.
