Netflix says it's planning to enter four more Asian markets next year as the Internet video streaming service steps up its international expansion.
The company said in a statement Wednesday that it will extend its services to South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan starting in early 2016.
The announcement comes a month after the Los Gatos, California-based company announced plans to expand into Japan. It already operates in Australia and New Zealand.
Netflix has ambitions to make its service available throughout the world and has already been selling its services in dozens of other countries outside the U.S.
However, the company may have to forge partnerships to enter some countries such as China. (k)(++++)
