According to information from CTV News, Carlo Sallazzo was using Netflix to while away the time until he could have a double lung transplant. But with new regulations from Netflix requiring devices To with a home Wi-Fi network every 30 days, the man risks losing his access.

For a fee of $7.99 per month, users can add additional members outside of their home country. However, the man, who is currently hospitalized, thinks it is nonsense to pay an extra sum in his case. Netflix didn’t respond to CTV News asking about such circumstances.
Carlo Sallazzo will turn to another company for entertainment if Netflix doesn’t change its tune to accommodate him.
