This is legally quite simply not an option. You must make deals with every publisher separately and those deals will involve geofencing and folks saying "no".

It's going to be a cold day in hell when any of Apple, Netflix, HBO, Disney, Amazon, etc. license their own produced content for anything else then their own streaming service.

Maybe we need a compulsory license for all kinds of streaming just like we have for radio in US.
