[kictanet] EU PLANS TO LIFT BARRIERS ON INTERNET SHOPPING AND IMPOSE QUOTAS ON NETFLIX

Can you imagine if Vioja, Vitimbi, Tahamaki All Episodes were‎ on Netflix?

The EU announced plans to free internet shopping and ban geo-fencing. Netflix and Amazon are to adhere to a 20% local content requirement (Seems like these guys are case studying Kenya). :-)
