Hi, If I take your argument and apply it to for example facebook or google what happens when they do the month and realise that they are actually loosing money by giving those in a certain region access?

This is fairly common for commercial content. Some content providers who get charged for the amount of bandwidth they serve out over IP networks prefer to spend that bandwidth on markets they can actually monetize. Makes business sense to me.
