Netflix is now available in 130 more countries, but not China

With how slowly Netflix has been expanding over the past year or so, many people were wondering if the company would be able to complete its goal of spreading to nearly every country in the globe by the end of 2016. That’s because we were expecting a gradual expansion over the course of several months, but as CEO Reed Hastings made clear on Wednesday, that’s not going to be the case. Instead, Netflix is expanding in a couple of massive bursts, the first of which saw it expand to 130 new countries, excluding China, but that should change soon.
