They should have included TV in the 349 plan. Would have been a great option!

Commenting upon the launch a Netflix Spokesperson said, “We launched the Mobile Plan in India to make it easier for anyone with a smartphone to enjoy Netflix. We want to see if members like the added choice this offer brings. We’ll only roll it out long-term if they do.”

If they're adding Laptop/Desktop to it, then it's no longer a "Mobile" Plan. So the name "Mobile+" doesn't make sense. They should name it something else.

Mobile+ Plan should be similar to Mobile plan (for Smartphones & Tablets) with something extra (+), like HD support. And price it close to Mobile Plan. Maybe ₹249 or ₹299.

They should have but business wise it is not beneficial for them.At present the outreach of OTT to TV in India is still very under penetrated.Mostly it is limited to urban areas due to poor broadband connectivity.On the other hand with mobile data becoming very cheap and sell of smartphones skyrocketing,Netfkix would know that they can get some market in previously untouched areas.

When I first saw mobile+. I thought it was mobile and another screen for ₹350. They need to cut all the bs and directly offer us one screen at ₹199 without the requirement of us finding friends to buy 3 more screen.

Yeah.. that could've been another good option.
with Mobile+ u get to choose an AddOn like HD or Another Screen.

Agreed. But I'm sure they would have got more number of subscriptions, if the TV was included with this plan, given that this is an HD plan!
