Even if you as the author want world-wide availability, the publisher may decide to sub-license to a different publisher in some part of the world unless you have a specific clause in your contract to prevent them. And then that sub-licensed publisher may decide to charge AUD$30 for the paperback and mysteriously take their time about releasing a AUD$10 ebook :-(
This isn't hypothetical, I've talked to an author that had this happen to her, without her knowledge.
