Ok, possibly it might be free with the XL package for 6 months, but surely this is a completely independent product, which will simply be provisioned by VM, with charges direct to Netflix? Same as Spotify?
It's pure speculation, bamav, based on the perceived devaluation of the XL pack without something to replace the channels that have been made available to lower level packages.

If they can do it with BT Sport and ESPN, I would assume they could reach a similar deal with Netflix. Non-sports fans have lost out for too long and this would be seen, I think, as reasonable compensation for them.

Yes, and if they come during this month, we will all be very happy! I agree that autumn is as close as we can get to a launch date, but as we have seen with Fox +, even dead certainties can end up being delayed inexplicably.
