Summary

Netflix announced new password-sharing policy: some subscribers need to pay an additional fee for sharing their account with users outside their household. It's derived from the slowed subscriber growth, but it must take a risk: decrease of subscribers. 

According to the streaming giant, Netflix have already applied this new policy in Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru; the utility of two features for members would affect making a worldwide change. 

Mensah adds, "Netflix needs to tread carefully not to take advantage of its established customer base."
