Netflix, the newest entrant to the Australian TV and movie streaming market, has claimed its first victim with Australian-based Ezyflix closing this week. Ezyflix’s model of charging per download for films and TV shows rather than using a monthly subscription-based model like Netflix, Quickflix, Presto and Stan appears to have made Ezyflix price uncompetitive with its rivals. The latest Roy Morgan Research survey shows Netflix now reaches 1.89 million Australians in July, stunning growth considering Netflix only launched in Australia four months earlier in March.
