"A deeming provision is being considered under a review of the law so that OTT providers (like Netflix) can be deemed as licensed if they provide services in Malaysia," he was quoted saying by NST.

Netflix's OTT model means content is delivered without the involvement of a network provider such as Celcom and Maxis, while a Malaysian company called [iflix](http://says.com/my/tech/iflix-officially-launches) provides a similar service with the aid of network provider Telekom Malaysia's IPTV (Internet Protocol television) to cater to the local market, Salleh said.

Yesterday, Malay Mail Online reported a US-based Netflix staff as confirming that there will be no censorship of television series and movies made available here, although certain content may be unavailable due to regional licensing restrictions.
