If you read the press release it is available in every country in the world except Syria, Crimea, North Korea and China.
It will also be interesting to see how other content providers (Amazon, but also CNN, HBO, and more conventional TV Providers) follow suit in the pursuit of eyeballs and expanding global markets.
Netflix is based on subscription, but it would be interesting to know if there is a company or network of companies equipped to sell digital advertising localized, at global scale to support a "free" model often seen on US network applications.
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.
Yeey, Serbia available!
Did we forget how all of this works ?
Netflix is a web site. Currently, there is only one global Internet. Therefore netflix is available everywhere there is Internet connectivity.
Anything other than that simple scenario is an embarrassing (and epic) fail.
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?
In europe we just get netflix lite, with old and uninteresting stuff sparkled with some original content and random rares. I hope someday we'll get this netflix you all talk about.
To me it seems like they shot their own foot; now that I've wasted my free month on this, I'm not planning to pay in the future just to find out if their catalogue has improved.
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.
That was a blunder. Netflix is now in 190 out of the 196 countries in the world.
Very sad and lame that this is "news". Did we forget how all of this works ? Netflix is a web site. Currently, there is only one global Internet. Therefore netflix is available everywhere there is Internet connectivity. Anything other than that simple scenario is an embarrassing (and epic) fail.
