Why is a cloud service regionalised anyway? Surely the whole point of a cloud service is so that your content is available anywhere. Should it really matter if I bought a movie in France but then cannot stream it if I am on holiday in Morocco? As long as the ISP I use or the data plan on my phone is happy to transfer the data, it should never matter where the data is coming from or going to.

So... who is this actually 'supplied' by? Microsoft, Amazon or other?

Some places have copyright laws that undermines the foundation of cloud services. For instance, Japan has a law after JASRAC (the Japanese equivalent of cancerous RIAA) pressured the Diet to outlaw any copying, even legal ones.

Simply put, that's the reason for regionalization, I think.
