Also, for safe browsing, there is 'Secured Incognito Mode' available for the users. The users can set up a pin-code or fingerprint to access the incognito mode whenever they want.

Reliance Jio STBs Set to Integrate Netflix App, Indian Users to Receive Free Access Posted: 21 Oct 2020 03:12 AM PDT This post first appeared on TelecomTalk Read more at: https://telecomtalk.info/reliance-jio-stbs-set-integrate-netflix-app/305703/, Reliance Jio STBs Set to Integrate Netflix App, Indian Users to Receive Free Access Netflix, the American streaming company on Tuesday said that it will be providing "everyone" in India a complimentary access to its services "for a weekend." The development was shared by Gregory Peters, chief operating officer and chief product officer at Netflix in its third quarter earnings call. Peters said that the company hopes to "create an event" and "get a bunch" of people to sign up for its services. Netflix said that the subscriber growth had "slowed" down in its third quarter with the company adding 2.2 million paid subscribers in the quarter as compared to 6.8 million in the same period in 2019. Netflix to Offer Complimentary Access to Everyone in India Despite the company having a slow third quarter, Netflix highlighted that it has added 28.1 million paid subscribers in the first nine months of 2020. In the same time period in the previous year, the company is said to have added 27.8 million paid users. Netflix said that the increase in the subscriber additions in 2020 is "primarily" due to its "record" first two quarters of its current financial year. "We think that giving everyone in a country access to Netflix for free for a weekend could be a great way to expose a bunch of new people to the amazing stories that we have, the service, how the service works, really create an event, and hopefully get a bunch of those folks to sign up," Peters said in the third quarter earnings call. The chief operating officer said that the company is "excited" about the idea of providing "everyone" complimentary access to its services for one weekend. "So we’re going to try that in India and we’ll see how that goes," Peters said. "And that’s just an example of the kind of innovation that we seek to do in this space." Netflix Seeks to Achieve More Success in India The company in its letter to the shareholders said that the Asia Pacific (APAC) region "was the largest contributor" to its paid subscribers growth during the third quarter. "We're pleased with the progress we're making in this region and, in particular, that we've achieved double-digit penetration of broadband homes in both South Korea and Japan," the company said. "While this is encouraging, we still have much work to do and we’re working hard to replicate this success in India and other countries." Netflix also said that its non-fiction series, Indian Matchmaking was "watched by a quarter" of its members in India and "millions" of users outside India in its initial four weeks. "We continue to invest heavily in local language content because we believe that great stories are universal: they can come from anywhere and be loved everywhere," the company said. Netflix also highlighted its partnership with the largest wireless operator in India, Reliance Jio. The partnership between the two companies has enabled the wireless operator to bundle Netflix service on its mobile and fiber broadband plans. "As part of this broad partnership, we'll integrate Netflix with two of Jio's set-top boxes," the company said. "We've also partnered with financial institutions in India to make payment processing easier and more seamless for our members, which we expect will have retention benefits." It has to be noted that Netflix in its third-quarter also "localized" its service with the platform extending the support to Hindi in its user interface.

Much recently, Tata Sky updated its broadband offerings and changed the fair usage policy (FUP) for data offered with its plans. Along with this, the internet service provider (ISP) also added a free landline connection for the users which was missing with its broadband plans for a long time.

Keep reading ahead to find out about how long-term plans from Tata Sky can help you save money. Tata Sky Long-Term Plans Come at a Discounted Rate Tata Sky offers its long-term plans at a discount to the users. Users looking to get a new broadband connection get to choose from four monthly plans where the speed ranges from 100 Mbps to 300 Mbps. Talking about the 300 Mbps plan, it comes for Rs 1,500 when users want it for a month. But with long-term and even medium-term validity, the price of this plan changes and actually becomes lesser.

However, users opting for a 6 months validity need to pay Rs 8,400 for this plan. This equates to Rs 1,400/month. So there is a discount of Rs 100/month. Users purchasing this plan for 12 months get a discount of Rs 2,400. They need to pay a total of Rs 15,600 for the 300 Mbps plan when they purchase it for 12 months. Normally, purchasing the plan on a monthly basis would mean that the user would be paying Rs 18,000 in 12 months for this plan. This goes the same with other broadband plans on offer from Tata Sky. The 150 Mbps speed plan from Tata Sky Broadband comes for Rs 950/month, Rs 2,700 for 3 months (imputing a discount of Rs 50/month), Rs 5,100 for 6 months (imputing a discount of Rs 100/month), and Rs 9,600 for 12 months (imputing a discount of Rs 150/month). The base plan which comes with 100 Mbps speed comes for Rs 850/month. But when purchased for 3 months, its price is Rs 2,400, giving users a discount of Rs 50/month. For 6 months, its price becomes Rs 5,100 meaning a discount of Rs 100/month. Then for 12 months, the user needs to pay Rs 8,400 (imputing a discount of Rs 150/month). The last plan offers 200 Mbps speed. Its monthly cost is Rs 1,050 and for 3 months it comes at a discount of Rs 50/month for Rs 3,000. But for 6 months, the plan's discount rises to Rs 125/month and it comes for Rs 5,550. Lastly, for 12 months, the price of this plan becomes Rs 15,600 (imputing a discount of 200/month).
