Australia and New Zealand have reciprocity and Chile has such with several countries as well. SQ can also fly domestic hops in the UK if it wants to.
Yes, but still, there are no domestic tags that have local traffic rights -- the only cabotage that goes on at the moment, AFAIK, involves LCCs that have bases outside their home country and are simply flying point-to-point domestically (e.g. Jetstar in New Zealand, Ryanair in Italy). Not saying that it's impossible, but it isn't done.
