    Rural broadband is more a threat than an opportunity for Sky in my opinion. Currently rural users only have Sky as an option for video programming - after Starlink arrives all those customers have the same choice of content providers as city dwellers do.
    You're right about Chorus

    But Starlink...

    why do you doubt - beta testers of starlink are getting speeds of up to 200mbs, above starlinks advertised normal expected rates of 50-150 mbs.

    Thats faster than what my fibre connection in wellington normally gets.

    If starlink is such an imminent and obvious threat why have Chorus shares not crashed?

    I note Sky now has the rights to stream all of the Harry Potter movies.

    Produced by Warner Bro’s (who own HBO). Sky strengthening their relationship with Warner?

    Until now the Harry Potter series was on NETFLIX.

    It does seem that the big players are pulling a lot of their content from NETFLIX now - moves that will only benefit Sky as most will not want to launch their own OTT service given the economics just don’t stack up.
