Well, it's an interesting view you take, PB, without any real substance behind it.

If VM approached Amazon with a view to adding their streaming service to its packages, I don't think that would be an altogether inappropriate option for them.

The deal could be along the lines of the BT Sports wholesale deal, which would guarantee the number of potential viewers with access to the service, or it could simply make the subscription service available to those XL viewers who wanted it (much the same as the facilities available on Smart TVs).

It's really not that much of a stretch; just out of the realms of what you, personally, have contemplated.

That is not the only option.
