Prior to last week, Netflix did not operate in all countries. In the countries you couldn't sign up for Netflix, Netflix licensed its content to other distributors/networks to make it available locally. The content won't be available on their local Netflix service until those exclusive licenses expire. Going forward, now that Netflix is available everywhere, they won't need or want to license out their original content like that, since they can distribute it themselves.
