Netflix is available in Kenya from yesterday. 

Good luck to KFCB trying to regulate them.

Hi Listers,

I just came across this
http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Corporate-News/Netflix-should-be-subjected-to-local-rating-standards/-/539550/3025624/-/br9ipaz/-/index.html

Looks like the Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) wants to regulate Netflix.

I then wonder, is Netflix IN Kenya or is it allowing Kenyans to access it?

When I think of DSTV, which I think is broadcast from SA, every film classification is as per the classification in SA. I don't think I have ever seen a film that implies a classification criteria that involves KFCB.
