Funny enough, as a continental European, I am not allowed to pay for streaming access to the great programs (programmes?) produced by the BBC. Ridiculousness of the same sort is happening with the publicly financed broadcasts over here in Germany. Somehow, almost every EU country manages to completely mess up the transition of its publicly financed broadcasts into the internet age, always because of some nonsense regarding the private competition. I hope the EU gets going with the single market for audiovisual content, fixing this once and for all.
