Sunday ticket It makes sence for dtv to have the Sunday ticket over verizon or comcast. The reason being ALMOST anyone can get dtv, not everyone can get verizon, comcast or twc.
Amagine if sport bars couldn't get it because they don't have verizon. |

1 edit | Sunday Ticket is different! The NFL is the content provider that owns Sunday Ticket and they are not are a content distributor. A content distributor that owns exclusive content that doesn't have to be shared is clearly using anti-competitive means to gain an advantage. |

Are you saying that Verizon doesn't have enough money to build their own network and distribute exclusive content? Isn't business generally anti-competitive to begin with? Isn't Cablevision's ultimate plan to have more customers than FiOS? Why can't they differentiate with programming?
It seems most of the posts in this thread seem to imply there is a god given right to all programming, particularly sports. Next folks will demand McDonald's carry the Whopper because it's anti-competitive if they don't. |
