That’ll be a short lived experiment overall. While Sky have bundled Netflix taking a £2 hit on the top package (box sets with Sky Q) there’s limited scope to do the same with Amazon and others on the same basis.

I hope the other models stand up better to scrutiny.
No, but they can improve their income by having more subscribers. As I said, the principle has already been established with the bundling of channels at a cheaper price. To suggest that none of the streaming services are prepared to enter into wholesale deals is not a wise thing to say on here, really.

Incidentally, did you know that the Hayu app was 'free' to Full House and VIP subscribers? Just one example of what can be achieved.
