It has to mostly with agreements with carriers and licensing as carriers will act as resellers of the digital content.. then royalty issues come into play and the complexities just escalate... For example even Apple with AppStore does not allow in many countries AppStore downloads over carriers networks (even though Apple has agreements with), but require a Wifi connection only so the end user purchases via their own direct connection and so not to use the carriers as the bearer. Overall its more of a rights issue than anything else and they don't want to take such risks.
