Packages
Selling streaming content in such small packages is a great idea.
This again shows how flexible these services can be when compared with the classic cable subscription.
Re: Packages
Absolutely, 3-7 days package based streaming sounds like a great economical idea for developing countries. This is exactly considered as tuning to customer needs. This is a great idea to grab more global markets.

Africa innovative billing
This is great for Africa that they have a billing service to make it easier for them and be more cheaper and convenient for customers etc.

Re: Packages
Yes, I'd bet other markets would also like such options, say if there is only one series you want to watch and don't wish to commit to subscribing on a long term basis.

Re: Packages
Netflix already has a month-by-month service.. so I doubt they'll make that shorter in the US since banks and credit cards are common, and there's no incentive for Netflix to try shorter service periods.

Re: Packages
@mhhf1ve you're probably right. Has it never ventured into something like pay for a view without subscribing like on Amazon?

Re: Packages
I assume that someday Netflix will license out its older content to other platforms, just like HBO does. So someday Stranger Things will be available on iTunes/Amazon as well, but never the latest season. HBO does this because it knows it's good advertising for getting users to pay for the latest HBO seasons.

Re: Packages
@mhhf1ve I suppose so. Do they also release their programs on DVD the way regular TV programs do?

Re: Packages
@Ariella, I don't think that they release every show, but I know some of their bigger ones like Orange is the New Black have for sure been released on DVD.
Re: Packages
@Ariella:
Can't agree more with you. You are absolutely right , there could be other markets that will be ready to try out these options.
