how many countries does netflix provide service to
Netflix Netflix's initial business model included DVD sales and rental by mail, although Hastings jettisoned DVD sales about a year after Netflix's founding to focus on the DVD rental business.[8][9] In 2007, Netflix expanded its business with the introduction of streaming media, while retaining the DVD and Blu-ray rental service. The company expanded internationally, with streaming made available to Canada in 2010[10] and continued growing its streaming service from there; by January 2016, Netflix services operated in over 190 countries â€“ it is available worldwide except Mainland China, Syria, North Korea and Crimea.[11]
