You want to see something to make you cry? http://feedback.smugmug.com/forums/17723-smugmug/suggestions/244273-partner-with-a-european-uk-lab-to-provide-timely-a http://feedback.smugmug.com/forums/17723-smugmug/suggestions... I'll summarise... it starts off with happy European users wanting local-to-them photo printing. Because they are so happy! By the end of their fruitless begging, they are directing each other to a competing service. So I completely understand what you are saying. The fact is that the US market is so large and lucrative, that many start-ups seem content to focus exclusively on it. The problem is that they create a fragmentation of their future market by allowing national competitors to provide a local service catering to the same niche. Like you said great for those localised start-ups, but not so great for interoperability and convergence. That said, I totally give a break to media outfits like Pandora and Netflix that have horrendously complicated licensing issues to deal with.
