This comes after the announcement by President Obama in December that the United States will re-establish diplomatic ties with Cuba. The streaming service Netflix is currently available for Cubans with a broadband Internet connection and access to international means of payment. Users will have access to Netflix originals, including "House of Cards" and "Orange is the New Black" and other original titles and licensed.
At the end of 2014, Netflix had 39.11 million subscribers streaming in the US and internationally 18.28 million, according to Variety. Adding to this list Cuba is part of the company's plan to expand to 200 countries over the next two years; he is currently in more than 50. Since Amazon also started producing original content, both television series and movies, Netflix is competing to keep up. New Zealand and Australia are expected to join next month. Japan is also expected to join the streaming service this fall, making it the first time Netflix will be available in Asia.
For those who enjoy Netflix here in the United States, these extensions to other countries will likely bring more original content. Meanwhile, do not forget that "House of Cards" returns February 27th ! And if you wonder what the rest of society has set for this year, check out these new originals he has in store.
