I don't know about cable investments, but they do have infrastructure for communications/broadcast/cable as well sell current DVDs and such
people do manage to survive there, do manage get TVs, furniture, cars, computers, internet, vacation - although it is game of getting by and survival there for most unlike in the west game of comfy living. keep talking ignorance

if that a case then a sale would be lost so, that would be a copyright infringement and NOT covered by access shifting
access shifting would only cover the abuse of using the copyright monopoly to eliminate competition for a MEDIUM of distribution.

or tv stations do with regional broadcast restrictions.
oh and btw you should realize how the communist nature of those countries (when the infrastructure as put in) would effect the investment necessary to provide such infrastructure.
look at countries that actually had to get the investment from a captital economy, tv and internet are a community thing, you go to the local rec center to watch tv and to surf the net.
only the very rich have tv and internet in their home.
