News & Reviews:   Netflix ads

After being in the works for a while now, Netflix is finally set to launch its ad-supported subscription tier next month in 12 countries. Called ‘Basic with Ads’, it will be available in Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, South Korea, Spain, Mexico, the UK and the US.

Previously, we reported how Netflix is losing subscribers and may be introducing a cheaper, ad-supported subscription plan to combat the loss of customers. Well, it looks like the new subscription plan model may be coming sooner than expected as an alleged internal memo leak revealed that Netflix will be pushing its release to as early as October this year.
