With Netflix Inc. eyeing its Japan launch next week, SoftBank Corp. said Monday it will be partnering with the world's largest video streaming provider to sell its service at SoftBank's shops, and possibly create original content together in the future.
While Netflix will accept subscriptions online, the carrier said SoftBank users can subscribe to Netflix at SoftBank stores and pay from their monthly phone bills.
SoftBank President Ken Miyauchi said Netflix, which has about 65 million subscribers globally, has been changing the video industry.
