I'm a little confused. Map shows very few countries - no Singapore as mentioned in the article Also the article mentioned 190 countries at one point and 130 at other places. Moreover, Netflix claims it has 70M subscribers across 130 countries. How is that possible if they just launched it?

Oh, yeah! I just wonder if movie selection is the same, or if in some countries there are more titles. Anyone got information on that? I pay for proxy service just to "pretend" to be in USA and than pay the Neflix regular price. I believe a lot of ppl will subscribe to Netflix once no additional tricks are required.

Here is a chart of subscriber growth since 2012: http://www.statista.com/statistics/250934/quarterly-number-o... Does anyone have an idea of the total population of coverage added today? I'm wondering if the growth accelerates from here. Seems like it would, but then Netflix has likely already initiated service in the most lucrative markets.

your link requires people to pay to see the chart.

Not a single African country is listed. If was to be available worldwide the least that could be done is at least one country could be added from the entire continent.

The map doesn't appear to be updated yet, but it's available in every African country.

The linked full list of countries and territories where Netflix is now available https://help.netflix.com/en/node/14164 does not show all the 130 countries.

Yes, that map is definitely inaccurate. It doesn't include the UAE, where I am and now has Netflix.

From the announcement, it sounds like basically the whole map should now be red with a few exceptions.

60 old countries, 130 new countries, total 190 countries.

The footer says 70M subscribers across 190 countries, and was probably updated today. In their last press release in November, that line said "Netflix is the world’s leading Internet television network with over 69 million members in over 60 countries..."

Good catch! If anyone is wondering, the map shows 87 countries.

It doesn't include India. Edit: For Indians http://mashable.com/2016/01/06/netflix-ces-keynote/?utm_cid=...
