Gulf News: Dubai: “Netflix is coming to the UAE!” Such was the instant expectation set off here last week by the U.S. web TV broadcaster advertising job openings with Middle East specific roles on its portal. Netflix has not confirmed any likely timeline for its entry into the Gulf markets. Currently, entering the Netflix web address from an IP here will bring forth a message stating that the service is not currently available in this market. But for many UAE residents, Netflix is already very much here. And they are already feeding on all their favorite shows and films using its platform. Though they are using indirect ways to get a look in.
