Netflix world domination continues as Spain, Italy and Portugal sign up

Netflix’s plans for global domination are continuing at pace, after the online streaming firm announced it will soon be available in Italy, Spain and Portugal.

The company confirmed that individuals based in southern Europe would be able to access the service from October.

Netflix already streams to approximately 50 countries in Europe, North and South America, as well as Australia and New Zealand, with the service’s content varying from country to country.
