Netflix plans for offline streaming for areas with limited access to Internet or poor Internet like Nigeria.

Netflix and Chill

"Now as we’ve launched in more territories… They all have different levels of broadband speeds and Wi-Fi access. So in those countries they have adapted their behaviours to be much more of a downloading culture […] We want to find alternatives for people to use Netflix easily" said Netflix’s Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos during an interview with CNBC on Wednesday, November 2, 2016.

This new service is for territories that have slow Internet service. This plan will not be available to users in America. The plan has no definite date of release but Sarandos says "looking at it now, so we’ll see when."
