因為仲有球迷問，所以都要長氣再講！
體育比賽播映權，一般係分國家及地區咁賣既。其中中國大陸同香港特別行政區，係分開賣既。即係話，如果你買左某賽事中國大陸既播映權，咁你就只能夠喺中國大陸入面播放相關既賽事，你買左盧旺達轉播權，你就只能夠喺盧旺達播放，ETC。
所以，如果有關既媒體唔做足Geo-blocking (地緣阻隔，唔明可以自己睇 WIKI)，就係違規。相反，如果你想全球性無阻隔播放，你就要有錢買晒全球二百幾個國家及地區既版權，先至可以咁做。
同樣道理，你拎住 I-CABLE app 去到香港區域以外既任何一個地方，都係睇唔到 CABLE 既足球直播，拎住 NOW 隨身睇亦一樣睇唔到英超同西甲（當然我明白電話係可以轉SETTING，不過依家我係講緊正式規矩下既情況）。
來個比喻，一個商場二百幾個舖位，你租左其中一個舖位賣衫，你就只可以喺合約期內喺呢一間舖內面賣。當然，如果你真係所有舖位都要去霸，但收租嗰個只顧收租但任由事情惡化的話，收租嗰個都一樣好有問題（更何況是貴租）。
至於 2018年2月7日，歐盟議會通過去除地緣阻隔 (geo-blocking) 新法規，四月生效，希望透過新法規，消除歐盟境內跨境電子商務既障礙，有關規定只適用於歐盟國家境內。
當然，呢個POST只講現時播映權規則，未來會點變，冇人知！而其他爭拗點例如播映權太散，球迷比錢睇波成本太高、乜野大賽先算係大眾利益理應免費、收費電視定價之困難、片商收取天價無法回本既轉播費、有啲波根本冇電視台購買播映權，球迷肯畀錢都冇得睇等等問題，未來有時間的話，到時再出POST再傾！
