Netflix announced Wednesday that it’s launching in an additional 130 countries, making the streaming service available in almost every country, with the notable exception of China. The service will largely be in English in the new countries, supported by subtitles. The company is adding Arabic, Korean and both traditional and simplified Chinese to the roster of 17 languages it already supports. This article is about the expansion of Netflix be global to different countries and being able to be in different languages. Reed Hashtag is the man in the image as he is the CEO of Netflix. 'The company says that the public will gladly pay a fair monthly price to have access to movies and shows, and this can have a dramatic effect on the amount of illegally downloaded material.' This is an example of easy streaming and would mean that illegal downloading would be going down.

1. Netflix’s ongoing success is about flexibility. It supports almost every mobile phone OS, works on any computer, and is available on smart TVs and other hardware platforms.

2. This is in stark contrast to most TV broadcasters or other streaming services, like Amazon Video, which seems to delight in preventing people from seeing its content and movies.

3. he focus of the CES news conference was mostly on how Netflix has revolutionised TV delivery. Crucially, the company is pushing forward with significant new home grown shows, like The Crown, a drama focusing on the changing face of the British monarchy.

In my opinion this is just an act of bringing Netflix up in the ranks. For example the more Netflix will be used they will start showing live performances and could be another way of watching TV. There is also the advancement of Television as to Smart T.V which is another way just to on Netflix or different apps making it a very useful app.
