I don't think BT are being totally honest about their intentions. In terms of Premiership rights, Champions League rights, the purchase of ESPN rights and the FA Cup rights BT would have spent around £3 billion. Surely it would have been cheaper just to give everyone with either a BT phoneline or BT Vision completely free broadband instead of spending huge amounts of money on TV rights? Surely people wouldn't switch broadband provider it they where getting a great service completely free of charge? |
Quick calc - BT Have 4.6m customers at the moment. multiply that by £15 a month for the BB offer they had on and that works out at £828m a year income from BB. Add in the Line rental which is required and that's £1.7b a year income so if you look at the latter, if they stopped everyone leaving with free BT Sport, they are quids in over three years.
