Netflix’s CEO recently said that the company is thinking about offering cheaper subscriptions in select markets to further increase its user base. He didn’t reveal any information about these plans in his interview but the company has begun testing a mobile-only subscription that may be a part of Netflix’s plan to offer more affordable options.
Netflix has quietly started offering a cheaper package in Malaysia that costs RM17 or about $4 per month. It’s a mobile-only subscription that’s priced at half of what its basic subscription costs in the country which is RM33 or $7.90 per month.
The limitation here is that subscribers can only access Netflix’s library of TV shows and movies on one handheld device, be it a smartphone or tablet. Moreover, the content will only be available in standard definition and not high definition. Signups are only possible through the Netflix app or the mobile website. This tier doesn’t appear if the site is accessed through a PC.
A spokesperson for the company has confirmed this test in Malaysia and added that similar trials are being conducted in a few other countries as well. No further details have been provided about the tests so far. It’s unclear if this mobile-only tier will be offered in other markets outside Asia.

Some crowdfunding campaigns have left a bad impression because even though they racked up millions in contributions, the actual products never shipped. Backers lost their money in some cases and got nothing to show for it. Indiegogo, one of the two most widely used crowdfunding platforms, has taken notice of this and is now looking to change the very concept of crowdfunding.
Indiegogo CEO David Mandelbrot told The Verge that the platform will be experimenting with a new payment method of campaigns called guaranteed shipping. Campaigns with this badge will let backers know that they will definitely receive the product that they’re backing. If they don’t get it then the platform guarantees them a refund.
The funds that creators raised through their campaigns will not be released to them until they ship the product or the program launches at first. Indiegogo will be rolling out this badge for select campaigns starting next year.
This payment method was first tested by the company in its Marketplace. “So far, backers of products in the Indiegogo Marketplace where shipping is guaranteed have been very happy with the experience,” Mandelbrot said. Indiegogo first verifies that a product sold through Marketplace has shipped before transferring the sales money to the creator.
