I do not find your definition of "global" compatible with the way I have 
seen this word used in other Internet contexts.

Your usage seems to equate "global" with "the whole content of a bundled 
service", meaning that the interpretation varies from user to user.

I don't think your usage of the word "global" enhances communication in 
this context, and would appreciate it if you could use some other term for 
the concept you want to describe.
