That is not a correct analogy. Max asked a question relating to the comment that muppetman would be paying more fot the same content he was getting now (ie if he subscribed now to the new Apple+ app).

Given that Apple+ is not actually taking any content away from elsewhere, MM is looking at this incorrectly. The true position is that he would be paying more for additional content. That was Max's point.

Maybe you should take off your blinkers and realise that ultimately the linear channels will not be there, so you will not have that expense. However, you will have a lot more choice.

Sport is a different matter, though - it is difficult to work out at the moment how that will settle down. I think that it will be those who want a range of sport (boxing, football, rugby, cricket, horse racing, wrestling (&#128513, darts, etc) that will end up paying more on present trends. However, if you just want the footie, this might be less as you will be paying for that and not the other sport as well as you do with Sky Sport. However, I would be surprised if discounted rates did not apply if you took a range of sports on Virgin, Sky or BT. Anything can happen there, I'd say.

Britbox has to survive because that is how the major terrestrials will be disseminating their material just over a decade from now.
