    IFLIX, a video-on-demand (VOD) service founded by Singapore-born Internet entrepreneur Patrick Grove, on Wednesday made its global debut in Malaysia and the Philippines.

    This comes a day after Singtel's VOD service HOOQ launched in India, its third market after the Philippines and Thailand, sparking what appears to be a Netflix-type war in the region.
