One of my ex Rumour posters told me last month that Sky Movies is maybe set to offer an 'Free week' sometime next month.

I don't know, Doug, they are very cross about it, and it's not surprising. Sky have a lot invested in their sports channels and BT are becoming more than an irritant to them. I think they are worried.

Worried maybe but the BT bidding policy is ridiculous...... way over the top. Waste of money and BT customers will suffer for it.

Well, we'll see. They have the money, and maybe this is all part of a bigger plan.

In my humble opinion this is the start of quite a few sports rights battles that Sky will lose as BT have much bigger pockets then Sky and they are in it for the long run too.

As of November 8th I will not be posting 'Rumours' anymore.

The rumour posted today was given to me last month.

And that's not to mention Netflix and the studio deals. Big changes coming in the next few years, I'd say - I would love to take a look at Sky's plan!

the battle of the humble opinions! I think the BT bubble will burst eventually... their pockets are big but the customers will soon realised just how much their so-called free sport is costing them....
