lazarus Posted April 10, 2023 Author Share Posted April 10, 2023 Chile is a rather long (or tall) country that would stretch from the northernmost point of Norway all the way south to Morocco. https://hasanjasim.online/chile-the-ridiculously-long-country-with-unique-geography-and-natural-beauty/?fbclid=IwAR2j6uf0VzaiezaKXOUg48G2_Ny4O4R0sPq4KOf0xOvoGUC7ICCM-2fE6Wo Chile’s length compared to the United States is astonishing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazarus Posted April 23, 2023 Author Share Posted April 23, 2023 If you want to watch series, movies and other streaming content, you sure have a wide range of platforms to subscribe to: Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO, Disney+... the list seems endless. But which platform leads in each country around the world? Netflix, available in 192 countries and the platform with the most subscribers worldwide, closed 2022 with 231 million customers. So, it makes sense that it's also the most popular video streaming service in the largest number of countries. The platform leads in more than 70 countries, as shown in our map using FlixPatrol data. However, other streaming services have also accumulated a large number of customers. According to the source, Amazon Prime is available in 191 countries and had around 200 million subscribers in September 2022. This makes it the second most subscribed platform globally, but it dominates in only a few countries, including the US. Disney +, the third service with the most subscribers worldwide, with almost 162 million leads in one country only: India. Netflix's dominance in Europe, Central America, South America—with the exception of Brazil, which prefers Globoplay—and much of Oceania is undisputed, but a very different picture exists in North America, Africa and Asia. The French Canal Plus is successful outside its country of origin, being the leading platform in several Central and West African countries, all French-speaking. Arabic streaming service Shahid is preferred in countries like Morocco and Saudi Arabia, among other countries in North Africa and the Middle East, while Showmax is the dominant platform in South Africa. In China, they opt for Tencent Video, and in Russia, KinoPoisk. It should be noted that other popular platforms, such as HBOMax (81 million subscribers worldwide), Hulu (48 million), Paramount + (46 million) or Apple TV (40 million), do not appear on the map https://www.facebook.com/Statista.Inc/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maipenrai Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I think it's amazing that they were able to construct a network so vast given the technology of the day - I've seen cross-sections of the undersea cables they used back then and they are enormous, built up of layer upon layer of natural materials and sealants to protect the conducting core and as a result being very heavy and they certainly must have taken special techniques to handle. Today's fibre optic cables would be much easier to transport and lay out on their routes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
