Netflix internet TV network available in Serbia

The news was announced by CEO Reed Hastings at CES last night, with the confirmation that the streaming service has added more than 130 countries to its already wide reach.

Although its operations has not been launched in China, the company is still exploring options for providing its services there. People in Crimea, North Korea and Syria will also be unable to enjoy the service due to a United States government restriction policy.

“We’re at the start of a global revolution”, Hastings said.

The news caught nearly everyone off guard because Netflix had previously set a goal of being available in most of the world by the end of this year.

Netflix, which currently has almost 70 million subscribers, is now on offer in 190 countries around the world, including India, Russia and Indonesia.

Though the streaming service promises to deliver all of its original programmings and licensed content to everyone, some shows might not make it in some countries. However, they could make it to China, but do have plans to expand to the country in the future.

As part of the global rollout, Netflix has added Arabic, Korean, Chinese (simplified and traditional) to its supported language.

Under these packages users will be able to watch movies, TV shows and other high quality content at up to four screens including personal laptops, phones and tablets. And, the expanded service went live as Hastings delivered the keynote.

Netflix is offering a month of free services until February 7.

“They will certainly spend a lot more on content than consensus has modeled”, Pachter added. Moreover, Netflix says it looks to release 31 new and returning original series for the year along with 24 original feature films and documentaries and 30 original kid series.
