  1. distribution range on Want Anime Network on Your Cable System? · · Score: 1
    ...scanning... ...lock...
    Detected topic: Anime channel available, how to tell the company that you want it
    Intended audience: local US users who can possibly receive the channel
    Reached audience: WORLDWIDE DISTRIBUTION

    Don't be offended, but for me this again shows (rather sadly) that for many people only their local backyard exists.

    I've experienced this a number of times, e.g. if you order something at Sharp.com, and you even know someone in the US where the goods may be sent to.
    Place Order -> Get Confirmation -> 2 days later: Get Cancellation Message: "You have a VISA card in a non-US country".
    Ouch! Wasn't Visa intended to be accepted everywhere?
    Or the many order sites where I have to enter a state, even if the country is not 'United States'.

    Sometimes I wonder whether a "Globe of the U.S." award exists or such one would be appropriate. ;-)

    Please accept my humble excuses if the channel is indeed available worldwide. :-)

    ...so far my 2 cents :-)
    THINK! (the old IBM motto)
    Kind regards,
