If the article is predicting the rise of Netflix or Amazon Prime I’d say it’s missed the boat. The success or otherwise of the latter is yet to be established, along with the key question of wihether consumers will bear the cost of multiple subscriptions which is what the majority of new entrants will rely upon.

Eleven Sports has demonstrated that the market for secondary sports rights isn’t really there in the UK. However that’s not really new, the delivery method may be, but Premier Sports, Boxnation, etc. all exist in the market and haven’t hit the levels of hundreds of thousands of subscribers.

Do you work for that website? I’ve noticed it a few times now in your posts.
