Furthermore, the 2018 budget is scheduled for 7 billion dollars (about 750 billion yen) in a year, and these are secured from the long-term debt of 20 billion dollars (about 2,200 million yen).

The goal of Netflix is ​​to make the original content's weight more than 50%, and if it can be achieved Netflix can be reborn as "an additional service of TV" into "an indispensable TV service".
