Why is HBO a follower here?

They did original content for as long as they existed, and HBO Now has been available globally for a while now.

How can I access HBO globally? I see at the bottom of their website "HBO NOW is only accessible in the U.S. and certain U.S. territories where a high-speed broadband connection is available."

My bad, when it first came out all my foreign friends were raving at availability of Game of Thrones. Looks like they all had a proxy setup.

Grandparent comment is right, Netflix is the trailblazer.

Game of Thrones is also internationally licensed out to local TV stations around the world
