Australia is considering laws that would require streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon to meet a quota of locally made films and TV shows
CANBERRA, Australia—Netflix Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and other video-streaming players may be required to produce more Australian content, the latest in a global push to compel tech giants to tailor their local offerings.
Boosting local content has become a priority for policy makers from Europe to Asia and Africa, as they seek to protect local film and television industries as well as capture more of the cross-border digital revenues that have turned global streaming players into digital entertainment powerhouses.
