Netflix comes to India

It also launched in 130 countries like Russia, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and Indonesia. China is held back for now but the keynote said they plan to launch there soon. The prices are pretty much the same in the US - Basic 500/- INR (no HD, 1 screen), Standard 650/- INR (HD, 2 screens) and Premium 800/- INR (UltraHD, 4 screens).

In terms of the Indian market, the price points might be a bit higher but it mostly targets the segment of the Indian population that buys Netflix subscriptions and use VPN to watch the uncensored shows (TV is heavily censored in India). VPN sales are going to take a hit in the India too after this news.

Cant see anything in USA, the page simply redirects.
