But there are also opportunities using apps etc to engage with fans more in the stands etc.

Using Sparks 5G....

Correct, but because Sky will he managing the production of the sporting events that they hold the rights to it gives them an advantage in terms of what kind of content is delivered.

For me it is potentially a game changer. Cricket is a big reason why I do have SKY. Will have to wait and see what happens. Not happy about this though. Streaming cricket is going to be awful.

Why's that?

[Sideshow Bob]

Ouch....that has to be a bit of a dagger blow......

[bull....]

death of sky is near esp if spark get rugby and soccer and cricket

[Sideshow Bob]

One thought, Spark must be confident in being able to produce it? I understood that Sky do all the coverage and production within NZ.

Hopefully doesn't mean have Scotty and Beaver commentating??

I wonder what the advertising revenue was for the cricket,and will spark be ad free.The streaming quality should be good as the demand won't be as high as the world cup.But SP now .95cents and buyers all but gone.

Can't see why they would be ad free. Cricket lends itself beautifully to ads at the end of every over.
