`
`the first computer system;
`
`Connect one of the highest-volrune networks in the world.
`
`Globally. close to 90% of our traffic is delivered via direct connections between Open Connect and the
`
`residential Internet Service Providers (ISPs) our members use to access the internet. Most of these
`
`connections are localized to the regional point of interconnection that’s geographically closest to the
`
`member who’s watching. Because connections to the Netflix Open Connect network are always free and
`
`our traffic delivery is highly localized. thousands of ISPs arormd the world enthusiastically participate.
`
`We also give qualifymg ISPs the same Open Connect Appliances (OCAs) that we use in our internet
`
`interconnection locations. After these appliances are installed in an ISP’s data center, ahnost all Netflix
`
`content is served from the local OCAs rather than “upstream” from the internet. Many ISPs take
`
`advantage of this option. in addition to local network inter‘cormection, because it reduces the arnormt of
`
`capacity they need to build to the rest of the internet since Netflix is no longer a significant factor in that

`
`ISPs have even placed OCAs in Macapa and Manaus in the Amazon rainforest — on every continent,
`
`except Antarctica and on many islands such as Jamaica, Malta, Guam, and Okinawa. This means that
`
