What about the state of affairs in emerging markets, which are likely going to be bigger revenue source than US/Europe in the not too distant future?

The ARPU is a lot smaller and the article even calls out that different markers want local content meaning that content costs will also grow.


ARPU could be smaller but the user volumes would be much higher. In absolute terms it could be a significant portion of revenue. Netflix perhaps is not doing as well in these markets, presently.

There are reports that Netflix is doing badly in India, for example, which is a massive potential market.


Revenue - yes

Profit - no
