Netflix Inc. will start charging some customers more to share their accounts with people who aren’t in the same household in an effort to crack down on unauthorized password exchanges.
The streaming giant is testing the feature in three markets: Chile, Costa Rica and Peru. Subscribers with premium and standard plans will be able to add up to two additional users in other locations, the company said Wednesday in a blog post. The additional fees will vary by country. Costa Ricans will pay $3 more per month.
