I'm amazed these big internet streaming companies haven't already expanded to places like Japan.

Some have tried Japan before, but its a really competetive market with several local streaming services that the Japanese prefer. Sort of like how in Japan Microsoft's Xbox is always in last place because the Japanese would rather buy Nintendo or Sony gaming products.

I already dropped Cable as did my sister. I was paying about $70 CDN per month and found that $8 for Netflix was good enough for me.

My sisters kids in particular love Netflix because there's a LOT of programs for them in a separate link and they want to watch a show NOW and often the same show as before several times.

Cable and Netflix really need to MERGE functionality. I like to start a TV series at the first episode. While Cable/Satellite may offer more RECENT shows it's such a pain to watch episodes in order even with a RECORDER unit.

I supplement Netflix with a few BluRay series on sale like Stargate Atlantis ($40 for all four seasons).
