I cannot see consumers spending a small fortune for different streaming companies content. The only way it will be cost effective for the consumer will be for the streamers to be bundled together as linear channels are now.
Correct, also neither side will say how much they paid.

I agree with your analysis, they would need to pay more and snatch one of the proper packages to get a presence - with BT possibly backing out of the market next time and Sky not able to have all the packages, there could be an opportunity for someone else to move in.

Then we shall see how serious they are and how much it will cost per month!
