    Must have a Fibre connection, this is not for copper connected (DSL, VDSL). Wonder who's doing the ISP and backhaul? Promoting super fast & reliable (so must be faster and more reliable than other providers). At what price?

    Cracking news about the NZ Rugby rights, would have thought this warranted a market announce.

    We're building lightning fast broadband and we're pretty excited about it.
    You may think broadband isn't that exciting - we do because we believe we can do it better. Why? We know technology, we know the speeds you need to stream on demand sports and entertainment, and we know how frustrating it can be when broadband doesn't work as it should.
    So, we think you'll be excited too when Sky Broadband arrives - delivering super-fast reliable broadband, genuine responsive service, simple plans without confusing jargon, all at a great price.


    Looking forward to seeing what any bundle packages will look like. I like that it says they it's is going to be broadband for entertainment. Marry this with the new 4k box. This is going to make for some great viewing. Massively excited for the year ahead and the investor day in Q4

    I am not sure if they are going to also offer something for the people that cannot access Fibre? https://www.chorus.co.nz/broadband-map https://www.crowninfrastructure.govt.nz/ufb/where/ maybe they are not worried about this as majority of NZ has access to Fibre and soon by end of 2022 87% should have UFB.

    Vocus is who Sky is partnering with (Sky is a wholesaler customer for Vocus in this setup)

    They have the rights to Europe (including UK). That is over half a billion people... and subs for the season only cost EUR 39.99 or GBP 34.99.

    Will be very interesting to see how many people subscribe, but for every 100K subs that is an extra NZ$6.5M to the top line.
    How popular is Super Rugby in Europe? particularly games that are playing in their early mornings? and are the games available on the traditional European pay tv services who normally play super Rugby games? (there is no mention in the announcement of it being "exclusive" to rugbypass)

    I think that NZ Super Rugby is popular for rugby fans in Europe. Just like 6 Nations is popular to many NZ rugby fans, even though the matches are not at social hours.

    How many will pay EUR39.99 to stream the tournament is another matter - we shall have to wait and see.

    Would be good to know if traditional players like Sky UK still have the rights to broadcast Super Rugby Aotearoa via satellite.

    I see Spark are trying to charge $50 for the Parker fight! Good luck.

    https://www.sparksport.co.nz/pay-per-view

    PPV fights used to be $40 with Sky...and I wouldn't even pay that much to watch that bum fight.

    If they can capture 1% of the total population from all those countries, the increase in revenue would be enormous. There are plenty of countries on the list where rugby is growing in popularity such as Georgia, Russia, Germany as well as the already obvious countries such as the UK. China apparently has the most rugby fans in the world as well...https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/...d-rugby-survey

    Whether they'll pay to see the best club teams in the world play or not is obviously another matter. Hopefully they're marketing in China!
