Until Sky bundled Netflix with their box sets and offered a discount, Virgin Media accepted that subscribers would continue to pay directly to Netflix.

As far as discounts are concerned, surely bundling together of streaming services at a cheaper price overall is the answer.

I'm not sure whether BT requires you to pay Amazon directly or whether payment can be made together with other services on BT. It would be interesting to know.

As I have said before there is another advantage of bringing together all your streaming services, and that is the ability to search and bookmark all your programmes on just one box.

Yes, you could be right there, but it will be interesting to see what is on offer.
