Netflix yesterday announced they will be releasing their (stream-only) service in 43 countries of Center and South America, including Brazil, the biggest market in the region and one of the fastest growing economies in the world.
As reported by one of the main newspapers in Brazil (article in Portuguese), Netflix will be partnering with Netmovies, an online movie rental service controlled by the American fund Tiger Management Corp.
As a result of these news, Netflix's shares soared in the Nasdaq to an all-time high, taking the company to a whooping $ 15.1 Billion valuation.
Last, as a long-term Netflix user, I hope this move brings more Brazilian and South American movies to US-based users as well - and not only crappy or dubbed ones...
