Yes, but I don't believe a word of it.
(Actually, I did have that in mind, and I still stand by what I said: )
If the 1-lend-only restriction was lifted, people in the US would be able to lend books out however they like, just like pbooks, to the point where the ability to do so becomes useful.
If the US-only restriction was lifted, everyone in the world can... um... lend their book once. How many people even bother to do so, when it is that limited?
At least if, where available, you could lend more often, it would become popular to do so and once it enters the public consciousness it might mean something. The biggest barrier as I see it, is the fact that you can't really do much with it even if you do have the ability, so no one bothers to know that you can.
Obviously, I hope all three restrictions are lifted.
