Amazon Prime Video service is currently available in Austria, Britain, Germany, Japan and the United States, with a promise of availability soon in India. Of that number, 39.25 million subscribers were international, a sign that the company was gaining momentum as a global television service. For the current quarter Netflix forecasted a gain of 5.2 million subscribers, predicting 3.75 million of them would come from countries outside the US. Prime Video is a popular perk of an Amazon subscription service that includes free delivery of products bought at its online store. Like Netflix, Amazon has invested heavily in original programming to win subscribers.
