Exactly, that is all I am saying apart from the fact that the tech cos are far bigger than the existing media cos and can easily outbid them if they choose to do so.

If it were in isolation, then I'd agree with that, but the fact that they are adding loads of other sports all the time now, seems to at least suggest, does it not, that their interest in sports is more than just a passing fad. How serious they are, who knows, but we'll have to wait a few years and see if they ever do go for more rights.
