In the absence of a viable business model probably not very much.

Well, we've argued this before, and as I keep reminding you, the fact it hasn't happened yet means nothing at all. Things change. Broadband connectivity improves.
We all know you disagree, on most things as it happens, so perhaps we should just leave it there. Others can judge who is right, and events will prove it one way or the other.

The technology change represents zero opportunity for additional revenue streams compared to Sky who already retail via Now.
I think OB that sadly you have been pushing this mantra so far, for so long, that you’ve gone down the rabbit hole. In the boardrooms of these multinational conglomerates they don’t feel as strongly as you do about delivery methods - which is all streaming is television over broadband.
There’s no supernatural force out there that gives a company that is restrictive about how it reaches it’s customer base additional revenues over one completely agnostic. The fact DAZN are looking to spend billions on BT Sport rather than enter blind rights auctions and roll the dice themselves is evidence enough.
