Engadget HD reports that Netflix streaming is finally available in all US territories, including Puerto Rico & Guam. I've received a number of complaints about this limitation in the past from readers, so I'm sure they'll be happy that Netflix was able to resolve the licensing issues.
Good to hear. I traveled to Puerto Rico last October, and Netflix basically told me they couldn't do streaming since it's outside the US but that they would mail my discs since it's in the US.

That was the announcement we were waiting for years now. I've been a Netflix subscriber since almost the beginning. But when Streaming came along, Puerto RIco was excluded for some senseless reason. I've been using proxies, and Canadian servers as a workaround. But now we are treated as equals, like it should have been since the beginning!

This was a nice surprise! But had issues with activating my Wii, the activation tab on the Netflix site blocked this because I was not part of the 50 states. Hopefully they fix this too. My IPad, PC, and laptop works fine.
