I would love to see companies like Netflix and CBS embrrass the change that is taking place in the world and do deals cross continents instead of individual countries. Instead of dealing with 3 different countries in North America, CBS could save money by only having to deal with a single region. It would save them money and give the public access to all of their content instead content access being different country to country.
OR they could just step up to the plate and give the entire world access to all of their content. It’s going to happened eventually so why not do it sooner than later.
Funny, no mention of the STAR TREK franchise.
I am so annoyed by this. Canadians pay the same price as Americans yet our library is so small compared too the US one. I wanted to start something to like boycott Netflix Canada for one month !!! Star Trek was not rumored to have been already released for Canada ???
