Fierce Wireless reported this morning that Netflix content costs could rise from $180 million today to $1.98 Billion dollars in 2012. With that announcement has come new price structuring from the content giant.

Effective today for new customers and September 1, 2011 for existing customers, DVD by mail and streaming are unbundling. Netflix had a plan where you could pay $9.99 per month to get streaming and 1 DVD at a time by mail. Now the cost of streaming is $7.99 and you’ll need to pay an additional $7.99 per month if you want 1 DVD out at a time. The cost for two DVD’s at a time has gone up to $11.99 (in addition to your $7.99 if you’re a streaming customer)
