Unfortunately imho this country is always going to lag behind our American cousins unless the major content holders (Sky and BT) are forced to divest their platform business from their content as BT has been forced to do with Openreach recently.
Why should they have to when many other providers around the world are platforms as well as content providers , being that you mention it even in the USA.
