Facebook offers Movie Streaming - Start with Dark Night

Facebook

Facebook joined the crowd and offering "Dark Night" for 30 facebook credits. The validity is 48 hours. For the beginning Facebook says that it's only available in US market. I can understand why only US and not the rest of the world. It's pretty simple reason.

If Facebook to offer HD quality video content over internet worldwide they need to ensure that they've connectivity throughout the world. Google is years ahead with the GCN (Google Content Network) and peering agreements with almost all Tier-1 & major operators. They even invested in Submarine cable connecting Asia-Pac with US
If Facebook to follow suite it will take them few years and lots of money. So for the time being US residents can enjoy watching movies(?) from Facebook and use the Facebook credits. I think within couple of weeks or months I strongly believe Google will offer similar services.
