Netflix begins European push with France launch

Netflix has launched in France, it indicated on Monday morning with a tweet. This is the start of a major push into mainland Europe, with other countries such as Germany and Belgium also set to get Netflix this month – Scandinavian countries and the Netherlands have had it for a year or two. The firm has a massive terabyte per second of bandwidth on hand in France to support anticipated demand, though Netflix has strong competition from the likes of CanalPlay, which has a partnership with HBO. As it is based in Amsterdam, Netflix gets to sidestep requirements for 40 percent French-originated content, though it has commissioned a local drama called Marseille.
