The other major difference when using Internet streaming. What holds in-country
can also hold across borders. Each individual owner gets to decide where and
how his content is distributed, globally, barring of course oddball countries
that block Internet access. It looks like CBS is going a step further.
Described in the second article, Australia's Network Ten content will become
included in CBS All Access content.
In previous times, content owners were constrained to rely on local
distribution media, in their native country and overseas. Net neutrality does
not mean that all content must be available everywhere. It means that the
owner(s) decide(s), not the distribution middlemen.
