• In the US, telecom giants like AT&T are insisting on stricter usage regulations. If stricter usage regulations are imposed, then internet prices
would rise, which would threaten the business model of Netflix.
• Tax structures in countries differ, which directly impacts the Company's cost structure. For example, in the EU, Netflix is taxed the same
way as traditional media.
• Netflix also faces resistance from certain governments. For example, China does not allow streaming of foreign content, which is why
Netflix sells licenses to local companies. This limits the revenue-generating potential of the company.
• U.S government also restricts U.S. based companies from setting up operations in certain countries, like Syria.
