Re: BT to Youtube
DCawrey,

Americans really have only their own tastes to blame. Serving the US the sports it likes is an almost separate operation from serving the rest of the world.

https://t.co/j58vmSG3MG

So there's very little over-the-border competition to force more open access to popular sports within the US; nobody else (except the Canadians and a little bit of Latin America and the Caribbean) wants to watch our Big Four popular sports, but we do, and a lot. If there's ten lemonade stands on the block and one guava juice stand and you absolutely won't drink anything but guava juice, that guava stand owner is going to get rich, and you're never going to see a deal on guava.

Re: BT to Youtube
A Telecom with a new media player is part of a trend as epitomized by what Twitter is trying to do.   What will be interesting to see is what Amazon does with what I view as the potential YouTube Killer--look at the built in base they already have with Prime as they are already going after Netflix too.

Interesting times...isn't it?

Re: BT to Youtube
I wish here in the US we were able to get free sports packages just for subscribing to broadband. Instead, sports channels are considered the premium offers by cable providers. They'd never sign on to offering free sports. Ever.

BT to Youtube
Everybody want to be apart of youtube and youtube is a billion dollar media business and so that probably would be a good look for BT.
