Content producers tend to want to distribute their products for as wide an area as possible, which means needing to negotiate exclusivity rights with the providers of certain countries. As such, netflix can't negotiate with the content providers to gain rights, because the providers already sold those rights to other parties. Good streaming services are a relatively new phenomena, and as such, it's going to take a while for content providers to renegotiate deals to provide the content for the newer definition of what the widest area of distribution is. So, in short, blame the local distribution entities as much as the content producers for not providing streaming services for the content they have the right to broadcast at this point in time.
