It is delivered to viewers via apps, screens large and small, and media players of all kinds. In this unfamiliar environment, new global giants of television distribution are emerging-including Netflix, the world's largest subscription video-on-demand service.Combining media industry analysis with cultural theory, Ramon Lobato explores the political and policy tensions at the heart of the digital distribution revolution, tracing their longer history through our evolving understanding of media globalization. Netflix Nations considers the ways that subscription video-on-demand services, but most of all Netflix, have irrevocably changed the circulation of media content. It tells the story of how a global video portal interacts with national audiences, markets, and institutions, and what this means for how we understand global media in the internet age.Netflix Nations addresses a fundamental tension in the digital media landscape - the clash between the internet's capacity for global distribution and the territorial nature of media trade, taste, and regulation. The book also explores the failures and frictions of video-on-demand as experienced by audiences. The actual experience of using video platforms is full of subtle reminders of market boundaries and exclusions: platforms are geo-blocked for out-of-region users ("this video is not available in your region"); catalogs shrink and expand from country to country; prices appear in different currencies; and subtitles and captions are not available in local languages. These conditions offer rich insight for understanding the actual geographies of digital media distribution. Contrary to popular belief, the story of Netflix is not just an American one. From Argentina to Australia, Netflix's ascension from a Silicon Valley start-up to an international television service has transformed media consumption on a global scale. Netflix Nations will help readers make sense of a complex, ever-shifting streaming media environment. 410 0$aCritical cultural communication. 606 $aVideo-on-demand 606 $aStreaming video 606 $aTelevision broadcasting 606 $aInternational broadcasting 610 $aCanada. 610 $aChina. 610 $aEurope. 610 $aIndia. 610 $aJapan. 610 $aMTV. 610 $aNetflix. 610 $aUNESCO. 610 $aaudiences. 610 $abandwidth. 610 $abroadcasting. 610 $acircumvention. 610 $acloud storage. 610 $aconsumption. 610 $acontent delivery networks. 610 $acosmopolitanism. 610 $acultural imperialism. 610 $acultural policy. 610 $adigital markets. 610 $adigital media studies. 610 $adigital rights management. 610 $adownload speeds. 610 $afuture of television. 610 $ageoblocking. 610 $ageolocation. 610 $ageorestriction. 610 $aglobal markets. 610 $aglobal media. 610 $aglobal television. 610 $aglobalization. 610 $aintellectual property. 610 $ainternet studies. 610 $ainternet television. 610 $alive streaming. 610 $alocal content. 610 $alocalization. 610 $amedia ontology. 610 $anet neutrality. 610 $anew media theory. 610 $aone-way flow. 610 $apiracy. 610 $aplatform studies. 610 $asatellite television. 610 $ascience and technology studies. 610 $astreaming. 610 $atelevision audiences. 610 $atelevision history. 610 $atelevision studies. 610 $atelevision trade. 610 $atelevision. 610 $atransnational television. 610 $avirtual private network (VPN). 615 0$aVideo-on-demand. 615 0$aStreaming video. 615 0$aTelevision broadcasting. 615 0$aInternational broadcasting. 676 $aELECTRONIC BOOK 700 $aLobato$b Ramon$01029193 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 912 $a996571856503316 996 $aNetflix nations$92553399 997 $aUNISA LEADER 01895nas 2200457-a 450 001 996417371503316 005 20240413022938.0 035 $a(CKB)110978978739639 035 $a(CONSER)---85642869- 035 $a(EXLCZ)99110978978739639 100 $a19840306a19849999 --- a 101 0 $aeng 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aCorporate control alert 210 $a[New York, N.Y.] $c[Am-Law Pub.
