Some of them are, some of them are not. What's your point? Your original statement is emphatically not true because cards issued by many of the biggest consumer banks (among them Sberbank, Alfabank) continue to work internationally.

The point is: the biggest reason for Netflix and co. is being unable to get paid through the channels people are using. The fact that you can if you're savvy was never the sort of hoops companies want to require their customers to jump through.

Please don't speak on the accuracy of comments when clearly you have no idea yourself.
