Except he only stipulated that the Premiership could sell a service direct to consumers. At no point did he say that it would happen, or that it wouldn't be platform neutral. I'm sure even you'd accept that linear broadcasting is cheap compared to the £1.5bn a year they'd be looking to get from people who are primarily Sky subscribers.

You are at the front of the queue to say how much easier it is to have everything on one box. Why would someone exclude a Sky Q box? If they were going to make the service available from 2022 why would they not make it available in Ultra HD to everyone?
