Not only does this statement not make any clear sense (why does English speaking #s affect price of the service?) but India has the second largest English speaking population in the world.

Sure, but if you go to India right now I can assure you that you wouldn't be able to have a decent conversation with almost anyone not educated from a decent college, Im not sure what the degree of proficiency is from that figure you got over there but the extent of most peoples English would be pointing and using one or two relevant words, not making complete coherent sentences. Back to my original comment this is the reason why people in India dont subscribe to netflix, its a killer deal and less expensive than what they pay for cable (plus they can watch it on their laptop so - the cost of the TV too) but I guess they wouldn't be able to follow the storyline as clearly.
And about that not making sense, I meant that it would be cheaper than paying for cable TV

irrelevant when that equates to 10% of the population.

Can you explain why it's irrelevant? It's unclear to me how market size is impacted by the fact that there is a larger pool of people that aren't in the market.

That is probably the most insightful comment here. Who realizes india would have the second most. If Indian had the same income levels as the west the English market alone could challenge the US.
