It would be wonderful if the Government did actually get behind circumventing geo-restrictions. I don't view this as impossible but it is unlikely. I suspect that in addition to the local lobbyists the US Government will have its say at the behest of its own lobbyists. And, of course, they are lobbying the same government that negotiated the disgraceful and secretive TPP. Not that it makes much difference who is in power. Going back we have the US Free Trade Agreement. These are just the latest in a long history of governments betraying the best interests of its people.

Unfortunately, right now most people miss out on circumventing geo-blocking, either because they are not technically inclined, not aware of the possibilities or simply cannot be bothered. Which is a shame.
