When you think of it it's fairly incredible. I am able to sit here in a town called Stanstead on the USA/Canadian border and see Canadian TV online without a problem. If I cross the border line with my laptop and stroll down the street and connect from a Starbucks down the road and I'm blocked. This is because straightforward, by joining from your US side of the boundary and strolling a few hundred yards I've also changed my electronic address. The difference might seem insignificant but it actually makes a tremendous difference to what I will do online. Your place will be looked up by most major sites as you connect and control what you see on their site. It might be incovenient for me as I now can not see the local report on CTV but there are a lots of edges also. For example when in canada, I get blocked striving to see anything on Hulu or Pandora, these work totally with an US IP address. Although it functions easily enough there is a simpler way to change your addresses without moving location. It's possible for you to use a Canadian proxy to hide your real location and regain control!
