EU moves closer to removing barriers for online media subscriptionsEuropean Union institutions moved a step closer on Tuesday to letting consumers access their online subscriptions for services like Netflix or Sky when they travel across the bloc. The Netflix sign on is shown on an iPad in Encinitas, California, April 19,2013. Letting people take their online subscriptions abroad comes after the bloc has already decided to abolish roaming charges for using mobile phones when traveling within the EU. It is aimed at people temporarily in another EU country for holidays, business trips or studies. While meant to benefit consumers, the decision has been contested by rights-holders, who say the principle of territoriality is key to their financing rules.
