The single EU digital market [1] should go some way to solving this (if the owners want to make it available in the UK/IE then everyone else in the EU can see it too).

But I don't know how that will work with licensing to TV channels, which are still mostly national.

Improved intra-EU parcel delivery will be great, too.

(CZ is a middle sized country for the EU. Denmark, Ireland or Croatia are half the size, and there are five countries with <2M people — LT,EE,CY,LU,MT..)

We can sure hope so, but judging by the way how EC rolled over on its back to huge telcos in net neutrality directive I don't have much hope this will pass without content conglomerates breaking it in some way.
