The EU directive you refer to has been renamed the Audiovisual Media Services Directive - but the principle remains exactly the same, that a broadcaster can't be required to have a license to broadcast if they already have one from another EU member state.
so where exactly does this leave ST66 USA?

What's so special about our homegrown talent? I very much welcome this move and can't wait, as I'm sick to the back teeth of seeing the same old faces and tits night after night. I only wish more channels would follow suit and introduce some European branches.
If the recent US porn star 'guest appearances' are anything to go by, they'll blow our 'homegrown talent' sky-high.

It leaves them needing an Ofcom license, but the channel is being broadcast on Sky 941 which already has an Ofcom license.
so they should get the green light for it? Or will they have to convince both Ofcom and the American version of Ofcom they deserve the licence?
Studio 66 TV 3 - 941 is a channel that has an Ofcom licence. It will be showing a feed from America, like it has done before. But we don't yet know if the feed will be from a webcam, or cameras in a studio. Either way, there is no issue with the Licence.
An interesting idea but changes nothing.
We want to see more action, our own girls could provide that given the chance and changing the nationality achieves exactly what?

It gives them more girls capable of achieving impressive call stats. Otherwise they wouldn't be doing it.
Not necessarily changing nationality, just because it's being broadcast from the States, as we've had Sophie Dee & Tanya Tate posing as Americans lately.
I don't know if there is a tradition of babe channels in the U.S. They may not be familiar with how to do the proper level of show. We'll see soon enough.
^^^^^
The USA don't really have babeshows like the uk does. Think the closest they have is playboy night calls, but when s66/elite have had guest us stars on, they have pretty much all done very well and overall been a big success I think
I'd like to see Alexis texas on it

Agreed! I also don't think I'm wrong in saying that when S66 have had the US porn stars in as guests, they've been
far more tolerant in terms of what they allow them to do.
