If Netflix just started taking money from German customers while providing them with a terrible service, we would be angry at that.
It makes sense that they might have to get local servers, or at least test the waters before opening the floodgates.

- toomuchtodo 12y agoNetflix's control plane is in AWS, and their content is distributed by global CDNs; there are no local servers to get. I would agree though that you do have to ensure content has been staged to your CDN, you have a local control plane in the EU for end-user latency, etc.
