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.
Yes the inconvenient truth is often painful for those in never-ending denial..
