Of course when the majority of people have broadband speeds in excess of those currently available streaming UHD sport should not be a problem - until then
Streaming of sport will not take off in any large numbers and sky/BT will continue to harvest the majority of important sports rights.
Eleven Sports are streaming the 1st 2 rounds of the USPGA tournament free - but if you want to watch the important weekend rounds then you have to subscribe - to a fledgling service with mainly foreign to rights.
