Rick - thanks for that.

 

Interesting facts about subscriber numbers - no doubt a big announcement when they hit the 400,000 number.

 

On the radio this morning the statement was '$1M a game too much .............. when at the time of the year most are suffering rugby fatigue anyway........"

 

Good luck to Telestra/Saturn. You would expect to see some competition and attempts to 'buy" market share by demonstrating their intent.

 

Hopefully does not set a new benchmark for a what a game of rugby is worth. If so the logical outcome is likely being having to pay per game - in addition to the monthly charge.

 

Interesting times ahead - but surely current SKY subscriber numbers must be their strength in the looming battle.

 

See what happens to the SKY price today. The chart indicates a bit of a dip anyway - buying opportunity coming up?
