I think this news, today, is less about Netflix's global plans, and more about content owners flexing their muscles over Netflix's casual attitude towards regional licensing in the past.
Sure, Netflix would like a global catalogue one day, but that's just the positive spin at this point.
But I wonder what tipped the scales? Netflix surely doesn't care who's watching what, from where: the ability to jump regions adds tremendous value to their product from a consumer standpoint.
