I just can't see how this can work financially. It couldn't for Setanta and ESPN who were up against one strong company, Sky, with far lower costs for EPL rights. Eurosport would be against two strong companies, BT and Sky. It works for these companies as they market a TV service and broadband. Eurosport does not.
