It is true that most sport is not delivered by way of streaming yet in the UK, but it is only a matter of time. As I have said many times, we need to get our broadband infrastructure rolled out in this country before streaming takes off.

Clearly, serious bids for the Premier league cannot happen until we have sufficient infrastructure, but if the Government is to be believed, most of this will have taken place by the next bidding round. To imagine that the likes of Amazon cannot compete with the smaller pockets of Sky is ridiculous, frankly.
