So, according to you, I have been 'predicting' this since 2010, have I? Maybe you had better check out those posts, because as I recall it, I have stated only my belief that Amazon or one of the other streaming companies would make a serious bid EITHER for the last round OR the next round of the bidding process.

I have no inside information on this, it is simply what I believe may happen. No need to big it up into something it isn't.

No, the infrastructure may have been deemed inadequate at that time. As superfast broadband is extended to the rest of the country, the assessment will change.

It is nothing to do with money. That is far too simplistic an argument and it is not the problem you make it out to be.
