I remember you always had a bee in your bonnet about exclusivity I fail to see how this is any different.
It's different because we all have the same freedom to subscribe to Disney + on any platform once launched. I have o doubt it will be on Sky, Virgin Media, BT and on many other platforms too such as Roku, Amazon Prime, Apple +, etc.

The beef I have is that under the current system, you choose whether to subscribe to Sky or Virgin Media or BT, for example, for good reasons. Some people are not allowed satellite dishes, some aren't cabled up, etc. So hogging all the content on one platform is not in the interests of the consumer.

However, with streaming services, these are available no matter who your provider is, via the internet. As long as you ignore Sky, that is, who are still trying to restrict who can watch their streaming service, Now TV. By rights, this should be available on all platforms.
