I don't see this will have much impact on balance of power. Most of the listed countries are very poor and people do not have money even to buy Apple's gadgets, let alone the content.

I read an article about $50 smartphones for Africa and that's surely Androids and I guess people there know how to get the content.

Google still has lot of time.

Or United Arab Emirates or the Bahamas which have better income per capita than many families living in Alabama or Mississippi.
