It sounds like Apple wanted the ability to distribute globally on their platform(s). That makes a ton of sense for Apple and NFL fans worldwide but not for the NFL as they probably have distribution agreements already setup with local companies so it's a non-starter. Apple also wanted to get rid of local blackouts. Great idea but also probably tied up by agreements already in place with teams, stadiums, city governments, vendors, etc. There's a lot of hands in the cookie jar little hope of removing them. What's best for fans is usually not best for all the people making money from the product.

Butter is a nice restaurant in Canadensis but you'd have to check their hours. It's fairly off-season around there. The Tap Room at Skytop has been redone and is good. You don't have to stay at the Inn to eat there. The French Manor in Newfoundland, about 20-25 minutes up the road is fancy and expensive but quite nice. Basso in Cresco is decent for more casual Italian. Bar menu is good value. The Forks in Mountainhome is also pretty good. Their Ropa Vieja and Chicken Quesadilla (not the kind that you think) are really good as are any Cuban-ish dishes.
