BSkyB to show football online
According to The Guardian, BSkyB will soon be offering their content online on a subscription basis. At present, only existing subscribers can watch content online.
BSkyB have confirmed that the content on offer will include the Sport channels, which in my opinion, are the only reason anyone would pay for their service.
So, this means, that Premiership football will be available to watch without an expensive Sky subscription, which is great news.
Of course, it remains to be seen what the subscription costs will be. Will it be pay-per-view? If so, how much would you be willing to pay for a football game?
Undoubtedly, the BSkyB media player will not be available for Apple Mac (as everyone except the BBC seems to have opted for Microsoft DRM technology). Still, I can live with that. Watching the game online will hopefully be much cheaper than a full Sky ‘box’ subscription, or a visit to the pub.
