Netflix
Finally, Netflix has spread its service to 130 more countries, and is almost near the mark of 200 countries which Netflix promised to cover. The reach of Netflix just before its launch on Wednesday was an approximate 60 countries. It is now available in almost all countries, which means it affects the way millions of people could potentially enjoy and experience TV and movies at the click of a button, and by paying a small upfront fee. The only countries left out of Netflix's reach are Syria, North Korea, and Crimea due to restrictions of the American companies, and the most populated country.

Launch of Netflix was received with open arms, as it was launched early this week and Netflix proved its clout, and arranged to obtain licences globally instead of tiptoeing around each country's policies and agencies.
Few comments seen on Twitter includes "welcome Netflix to Saudi Arabia," "Thank you Netflix!! This was a long wait. Already opened an account," "Welcome to Kuwait," "about time Netflix!!! Welcome to India!!," "welcome to Mongolia," "FINALLY!!! Welcome to the Middle East Netflix, we have been waiting for you!" shows the extent of popularity it has gained globally.
"We're moving as quickly as we can to have global availability of all the content on Netflix," said Reed Hastings at a press conference after his speech at Las Vagas hosted by the Consumer Electronics Show. Hastings assured the press that although few shows may not be immediately available to Netflix fans, they are in the process of fixing this concern.
Share of Netflix jumped by 9.3 percent over the week and this is no mean feat. The exclusion of China has not dithered the company from its motive of conquering the world, and thus, it is still exploring options for providing its service in China - the world's most populous country. For the time being, it is treating China with velvet gloves, and focusing on improving relationships.
Netflix believes in being patient, and slowly and gradually reach the stage, where China will openly welcome Netflix.
