While we have competition between the streamers, and both Apple and Disney are set to launch theirs this year, I would not expect prices to rocket at all. Global streamers are able to keep their prices low due to the sheer volume of subscribers compared with the domestic channels we have now.

There is nothing to suggest that these prices will rocket at all.
