If it turns out that PS is free on XL (we still don't know whether that is the case), why couldn't they have used the money for PS to subsidise Netflix?
That way, Sports fans get a Premium addition and so do non sports fans. Going on retail pricing (as a rough guide), sports fans still are the biggest gainers, as BT sport is £15p/m and Netflix is £6p/m. And as Netflix appeals to both sports fans and non sports fans, but PS only appeals to sports fans, Netflix has a wider appeal than PS
Free Netflix would be a great USP; much greater in my view than free Premier Sports, and both sports and non sports fans would feel that they have been treated equally.
