The BBC seems to be managing to do just that quite well. Their IPlayer is quite hard to access from outside of Great Britain.
If Netflix will actually do this, then it will be impossible to use Netflix with the majority of commercial VPN providers.
(Netflix will lose me as a customer as well.)

Between The Netherlands and Germany (two neighbouring countries) the offering of shows is significantly different. It sucks having to figure out which shows to choose for replacements of the exciting stuff you were watching before. Frustrating how territorial licensing deals are still made in a world that seems to be getting smaller, with couch-surfers, businessmen and average Joes/Janes crossing borders ever more often.
