Netflix to expand service to Scandinavia

LOS GATOS: Netflix is looking to broaden its presence in Europe, announcing Wednesday that it will offer streaming TV shows and movies in Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland by the end of the year.

The company had given hints of its plans, saying last month that it would expand into another market outside the U.S.

Netflix also has subscribers in the U.S., Canada, Latin America, Ireland and the United Kingdom.

The company says the streaming service will be offered at a low monthly price, but it didn't provide figures. It said more details about the service including content and supported devices will be disclosed closer to the rollout.
