This is true, but the very small amount of programming made available by this means is no match for Netflix and Amazon. The point I am making is that it is a bit of a stretch to say that the BBC is setting the standard for streaming services.

Clearly, it is not, and therefore it cannot truthfully be said that we need the Beeb to set the standard. Netflix and Amazon have done this entirely by themselves.
