The problem with these boxes and the TVs is that they are a closed platform. It you could buy an open source based TV now, I would wait in line to buy it. It would have great support and 1000s of apps and would be a wonderful platform. Even something running Android or Ios would be better than the completely closed crap that comes with these modern devices.

I would hope that the U.S. could make a standard driver license that would mean something in Europe. Right now if you move to Europe from the U.S. you have to go through the painful process of getting a European driver license. It is not cheap or easy.

If we had a national standard, maybe we could come up with an agreement with the EU so that our licenses would be convalidated across the pond.
