Yes, this is why I think that Sky exclusivity may end in 2020.

There is no way an 'HBO Nordic like service' could happen in the UK at this time


I think HBO would make more money renewing their Sky deal.
Well, I and many others are currently paying £6.99 per month for Now TV's Entertainment Pack, just to get Sky Atlantic. £10 per month seems a bit steep, but I guess that depends on what other content they may add to it. I might be prepared to pay it instead of subscribing to Now TV if that made sense.
