Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
It’s nothing to do with the bandwidth they use. Streamers are potentially within the remit of a new online sales tax that’s supposed to redress the balance between physical high street stores which pay business rates and online retailers that don’t. But it’s only at the consultation stage at the moment, and we’re quite some way away from any new tax being announced.

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
Streamers are (and if OBs vision does come to fruition) will continue to increase the required fixed and mobile infrastructure capacity. While not the purpose of the tax - it will have an impact on the commercial viability of broadband services and ultimately where the state has to intervene to provide infrastructure if internet users won’t foot the bill.

Not my thought process, just something reported as a possibility in the press.
As others have replied, streaming has increased broadband usage particularly in WFH era.

You are probably unaware that this country has a problem getting its broadband speeds increased to a reasonable level nationwide.
Either that or you are a troll

I think it’s more of a relaunch to gain momentum if anything
There is certainly nothing new apart from the price increase (it used to be a fiver a month)

So fix the problem the answer is not to tax your way out. But l guess you would like luddites to run the country. My great great grandfather started our businesses if we had not adapted we would still be making wagons . Today we many run medical businesses. You have to adapt to stay in business.

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
Vince isn't going to be happy WWE looking to put WWE Network on another streaming service in UK. https://cultaholic.com/posts/nick-kh...etwork-uk-deal thanks to wwehbk on DS for the info.
My feeling is it'll be Peacock.
