Tell that to the Netflix and Amazon CEOs. Clearly, you know so much more than them. I am sure they would greatly appreciate your counsel and wind up their companies immediately.[COLOR="Silver"]

I don’t see why Amazon would need my advice. I’ve stated making profit from a Premier League auction in the three year window as challenging and they didn’t bid in the first round - they seem closer to my way of thinking than yours from my vantage point here.
Nor did Netflix. I’m sure they’re fully aware of the challenges facing them as well and will be monitoring the situation quarter on quarter.
You yourself seem to see the challenges as well, was it not you that suggested in future platforms like Virgin will become ‘content aggregators’ and that will generate increased revenue for the streamers? Not that I see how that as wildly different from the present - only the delivery method you seem to be contending will change.

No, for the simple reason that there have been so many technical difficulties with streaming.

So many difficulties, so few solutions.
