OK. So this kinda story is definitely not what I thought I'd see when I logged on this morning.
Please. Tell me why a bar code is so much better than dialing a phone number and punching in a code #? Opens the game up to older phones. Then again, who wants to hang around some flourescent lit video store in a mall, watching movie previews? Have you never heard of NetFlix? There's a good reason some of us don't go to Blockbuster.
BTW, those are our bar codes on the NetFlix materials!
I hope you are doing well if Netflix is using your software... Nice business site.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, It looks to me (*cough*) being an ex Bar Coder Nerd, pre bloggin, The Netflix is using the EAN 20 digit USPS ability.
See page 26 of:

A DUN possibly according to:
http://www.ccr.gov/pdfs/DUNSGuideGovVendors.pdf
That is 2 digit Service Code, 9 for DUN, and 8 for package ID with 1 check digit.
