In the 1990s, A banker Joseph Park originated in the idea of delivering movies online. He failed his $250 million investors only because he failed to deliver his promise that his Kozmo would deliver movies to homes within one hour, which was impossible at that time. At that time, Netflix was just starting. If Kozmo had decided to send movies by mails first instead of via online, it might have survived.
