Google could have spread the Beta using an invitation-only scheme (Remember Gmail? That's how they controlled the load). Exclusive invitations are more inclusive than a US-centric approach. Customers get fed-up with US-centric approaches, which give us:
- Different content on Netflix (Many movies in US, less than 1/4 in Poland),
- Different treatment as civilians (See: NSA spying, Predators)
- Movies coming 6 months later in Europe.
I get it that US customers have more money, but if companies could use a specific criteria like "high-return customers" rather than a prejudice like "Only Silicon Valley customers will understand", that would be nice.
