So I see... I knew there must be a money component but could just not see where. The Cloud has the potential to make much of this blocking (GeoFencing) almost impossible... There is a product called UltraSurf (http://ultrasurf.us/download_en.htm) that works for many such blockages but certain providers have become aware of its existence and are now blocking it as well...a never ending game of cat and mouse continues. Here is a link to someone's opinions on the subject and methods of circumnavigate the problem. http://www.unrest.ca/mainstream-geofencing-begins-and-how-you-can-stop-it Jim -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Bryan Carbonnell Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2013 11:38 AM To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] international television For broadcasters, it is all about broadcast and distribution rights. Take for an example, if FOX lets anyone from around the world watch American Idol online, there is no reason for Global (here in Canada) to pay huge sums of money to license the content for broadcast if we can watch it on the web on FOX. So Global pays for the rights to broadcast it on TV and online. Geofencing is all about the money.
