Success may 'often' come to people and organisations with imagination. Failure always comes to organisations that have business models that do not work. Setanta Sports and soon to be Eleven Sports being examples, one in the 'old' world and one in the 'new' world the principle remains the same. Streaming technology doesn't exempt new entrants from the basics of economics.
Completely agree basically nobody wanted the packages at least not at the reserve price , a bit embarrassing for the Premier League considering they thought all the streamers would be interested. Let’s not forget the press had speculated Amazon , Facebook , Twitter the list goes on.
