Netflix likely to make India debut announcement at CES 2016

As of December, Netflix has a user base of over 69 million.

Mumbai: American online on-demand video streaming service Netflix is all geared up to launch their services in India at CES 2016 to be held in Las Vegas starting January 6. However, no details regarding how it plans to expand in India was revealed.

Since June 2015, several reports indicated that Netflix will start its services in India, but nothing tangible has devised yet. Previously, Netflix made an announcement regarding expanding their original content base.

Also, the company is now looking to expand its services outside US to other countries like India, where 4G LTE services are speculated to replace previous 3G connections. As of December, more than 69 million users were subscribed to Netflix’s services.

For users who have limited knowledge about Netflix, it is a web streaming service that offers streaming content in partnership with major TV networks and movie studios. As mentioned earlier, the company also produces original content—Orange is the new balck, House of Cards, Daredevil, and Marvel’s Jessica Jonoes.

A user has to pay approximately Rs 600 ($8.99) per month to avail streaming services. However, with myriad content available on free video streaming sites, it is expected that Netflix will try to offer cheaper tariff rates to users.
