The world is now streaming everything online, from music videos to blockbuster films, many companies are competing to make everything available to the customer online. When we think about streaming, it is not fair to forget one name, Redbox, pioneer of $1-a-night DVD rental. Davis was the one who lead the company through a series of legal battles with movie studios and made it one of the top companies in the space. It is a subsidiary of Coinstar and now one of the company’s biggest money makers. With its recent acquisitions and a new streaming service in partnership with Verizon, the company’s business is expanding which will give its rivals a run for their money.
