History

Historical Context

Netflix's expansion in 2025 builds on the 1996 Telecommunications Act, which deregulated media ownership and facilitated the rise of streaming services. By 2025, Netflix saw a 30% increase in subscriptions, driven by its diverse content offerings like Broadchurch and Dispatches from Elsewhere. This shift not only transforms entertainment consumption but also shapes cultural narratives around identity and representation in modern media.
