I must point out that such a service exist, and it's one of the most successful startups out of Africa. It's called Irokotv, and at best afrosteam is a clone of this service. I was quite surprised the techcrunch article nor anyone else didn't mention them, here's a 2013 article from techcrunch after Irokotv closed $8 million in another round of funding- http://techcrunch.com/2013/12/17/the-scramble-for-africa-con...
Quite frankly, I am tired of the tag, Netflix of "insert region where Netflix doesn't operate"
I would like to know if the founders of Afrostream will deny to being a clone of Irokotv
We know very well Jason, the founder of Irokotv, we had some discussions with him just a few days ago.
Irokotv is very centered on movies from Nollywood, and has started to have some movies from Hollywood.
We have another point of view :
We are not the Netflix of a specific region, or the Netflix for certain people. We are the Netflix of the African Diaspora powered contents. We want to show what Afro descendants are capable of, and we want to solve the distribution problem of theses movies all over the world.
Irokotv was here first, and yes we will have Nigerian contents. But we have other goals. We want to distribute, create and show to the world how some contents you couldn't see are incredible. We want to show that we could have our black Superman, or our black James Bond. We want to expose all of the richness of all the African cultures (in USA, Brazil, France, UK, Mali, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Angola, Nigeria and more), all over the world
