Hi George,

Thanks for the comment and for clarifying what Netflix will be offering. Clearly Netflix has some benefits, but there are a number of limitations that should be considered…

On another note, for those of us in the English-speaking Caribbean, we are perhaps a bit marginalised with respect to broadcast content for “Latin America (and the Caribbean)”. As you said, much of it is catering for the Spanish-speaking countries, which is the larger audience. Perhaps we can try to lobby Netflix for increased content for us Caribbean English-speakers?

What do you think?

Also the Netflix model is about providing content that is out of the primary distribution cycle. As a result the content is usually at least 4 – 6 months behind current release. So for users expecting current release movies and TV series, the Netflix service will not meet their needs.
