Of course there’s a reason.

Why would say, BBC, ITV, Channel 4 who are planning a “Netflix rival” allow the cable operator to store five years worth of content?

Of course they could slap a high price on it, however given the “price rises” thread would the customer base pay more for it? Unlikely.

Similarly Sky and BT, who would struggle to offer a comparable service without impacting broadband speeds, would have no real incentive to make their content available.
