xugo··on EU to move ahead with cultural quotas for streaming services
I'd rather EU forces stream providers to have one account valid for the whole of Europe. I'm French, lived 10 years in England and now in Spain, I want one iTunes account to give me access to the full EU library and not needing 3 seperate accounts. Same thing with Netflix and Digital TV. That would also help Europeans understand their neighbours better.

These region-restricted distribution contracts should not exist anymore in Europe. It's from the video tape era, it belongs in a landfill.

don't you worry, bojo is on the case right now. The UK will have to accept more visas from India to get a trade deal. Replacing Europeans IT workers who were able to negotiate their salaries with low wage IT workers who can't change jobs at the risk of loosing their visas...
