I imagine HULU and Disney+ would offer seperate packages the only one i know for certain of launching in uk though is Disney+ as most of HULUs content is already with other providers, ofcourse things can change though.
Yes, ESPN cannot launch here until the existing carriage agreement with BT expires.

No real surprise.

Sky's content is the 4th most watched in the country behind BBC, ITV and Channel 4 according to the BARB, so stands out among the pay-tv providers on it's own and the Virgin Media platform. Ideally positioned to make Now TV take on any third parties in the streaming market. Add in it's broadband product and mobile products and it's a range of services that are 'must have' for any household.

TBD - to be decided.

They had almost know "original" content of their own then, so it wouldn't have made much sense and why the single market?? Lots of markets on the globe.
Only problem with streaming Premier League worldwide - they have rights for 2 minor rounds in this country only.

Rights in other countries are sold separately and are an area that the PL has been successful in increasing the income from significantly.

Not to bang on about it but where do they make the money back if they “blow Sky out the water”? To achieve all this, on a global level of course, they’d need to buy the Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A, all the North American sports and every other major sports event in every country in the world!

Tens (hundreds?) of billions per year just to enter an already crowded market and for what kind of profit margin? Any profit margin at all?

Liberty Global looks a snip at $20bn by comparison - and has access to most of the major sports rights anyway via third parties. Give everyone free Prime if they take all three services. The risk remains with the primary rights holder.

"Summer" could mean we might not get it until late August.

If you want to go full Civil Servant it can go into September. Indeed NASA defines summer as starting on the longest day through to the equinox in September.
