But this just ends in an upward spiral on prices. Each platform tries to outbid the other. If a decent price is put in with no exclusivity, this breaks the spiral and enables providers to offer their content more cheaply. I think it's just a matter of time.

Prices can't keep going up like this. Football fans are already complaining that they can't afford the ever increasing prices. A number of unexclusive deals will be likely to bring in more money than one exclusive deal, don't you think?
