BUt as I just said, Disney is the only co doing this so far.

AT&T(Warners) did a new five year deal with Sky to keep Sky Atlantic fed with stuff and so we won't see HBOMax here for at least five years.

ViacomCBS said they're happy to work with third parties and allow their content to remain on other platforms in parallel with having their own DTC services and Comcast have made similar noises about Peacock and allowing their content on other platforms too. No idea about Sony, but I doubt they will be around in their current form in the next year or so.

So, at the moment it's only Disney meeting Netflix head on out of the traditional Hollywood players. It will be interesting to see who has the right policy.
