Netflix Mobile-Only Subscription Plan Sounds Perfect For India

While Netflix CEO has already denied plans to brand subscriptions cheaper in India, I am still pretty optimistic almost a mobile-only subscription package for the country. Well, that's considering the company has quietly rolled out a mobile-but tier in Malaysia.

Yes, Netflix has introduced its first mobile-just programme in Malaysia for simply RM17 per month, which roughly translates to about Rs. 292 or $iv a month. Nether this new mobile-just programme, subscribers get unlimited access to all Netflix content, only it can simply be viewed on a handheld device i.e. smartphone or a tablet.

It is, yet, worth pointing out that the content under this program will simply exist available in standard-definition (SD) instead of High-definition (Hd). But I guess that's forgiveable considering the mobile-only programme is less than half the cost of the 'Standard' package that'due south priced at RM33 (~ Rs. 556) in Malaysia.

According to TechCrunch, Netflix is testing a similar package in a few other countries. At present, that's the role that I am personally excited well-nigh. The introduction of Netflix's mobile-only package in India could be a game changer for the streaming service.

Currently, Netflix stands equally the almost expensive streaming service in the land, and trails Hotstar and others in the streaming race. The 'Standard' subscription parcel is priced at Rs. 500 in India, which is pretty loftier in comparison to other streaming services. Amazon's Prime Video, in comparing, starts at Rs. 129 a calendar month. And Star Bharat'southward Hotstar, on the other hand, is priced at just Rs. 199 per month.

So clearly Netflix's mobile-but subscription, if priced between Rs 250 to Rs 300 in India, will allow the company to grab more paying users. Likewise given the fact that Netflix has decided to double downward its local content in India, I call back it'll let them to sell their services more aggressively.

One terminal thing to consider: many Indians employ smartphones as their primary communication and entertainment device, and might non even own a smart Goggle box (despite how increasingly mutual and affordable they are getting) or a laptop to watch Netflix on. Alluring these users with a cheaper mobile-simply plan isn't a stretch.

Anyway, what are your thoughts on Netflix'due south mobile-only subscription package. Do you think Netflix should introduce this in India? Tell united states of america in the comments downwards below.
