i think it also puts to bed any doubts if tvcstchup is legal or not, it clearly is legal if networks are investing.

TV Player is also being pre-loaded onto Samsung tablets, it's all above board. It's quite good value at £5pm.

A merger between Netflix and Amazon would reduce competition and ultimately, there would be less choice.
Disney is the most likely to merge with Netflix, I think.

I can see many opting to subscribe to Amazon Prime for their broadband and TV, supplemented by a Freeview box. That could turn out to be a very attractive deal, particularly for those who are starting to doubt the value of the existing pay TV channels on offer, and they wouldn't have to pay for a land line that they don't use either!

Amazon will more than likely use the Openreach network the same as Sky , Talk Talk , Vodafone etc do now.
The threat for the other providers is Amazon has a huge customer base in the UK and could potentially bundle it's broadband service with Prime and other Amazon services. It's potentially an interesting development.
