Also, TVNZ OnDemand is available on laptops, which can be easily plugged into any modern TV with the aid of a $10 HDMI cable

Jas777: You want everything for a $100?
As for pricing on igloo for a sports event $20 is too high but any less than $10 and what is the point. If you are going to be a one off customer than expect to pay one off prices. They can't rely on you for repeat business so why would they treat you as such.
Jas777: DavidCole,
Read your article and it makes some good points. Although online content is a good thing in some cases it needs to be just as or even easier than the current terrestrial model to get total buyin and I can't see how it can until every TV has a app for ever different available product.
As for the pick and choose model you want I actually think there is way more people who get SKY for mutliple things than do not and there is no way that it would ever be a $2-$4 a channel pick the channels you want model.
Some channels will be way more, a dedicated rugby only channel where it is not shown anywhere else would be at least $20 a month.
A $2-$4 a channel model would be like saying that you could get lobster in a restaurant for the same or close to the price of a bowl of chips.

Jas777: sday,
However you will still have to go to the steak restaurant next door the get the premium meal that McDonalds doesn't do.
DavidCole,
I get you about SKY movies which isn't a great package. So maybe you do get a cheaper version of that, though I would imagine you would be paying more like $14.99 quickflix than $7.99 netflix price.
Do you know what if any sports packages Roku has? Do they just act as a on-seller?
The other thing I would imagine that sports bodies might be very careful about is that it is much easier to access online content from another country than it is terrestrial coverage. In the example of the EPL the rights holder for Thailand paid 10 billion baht for 3 years, if it is easier for Thais to access online coverage for half what the terrestrial coverage cost then he isn't going to be a happy camper and the sports body might not be too happy at next negotiation round.
The other interesting development with this and any other content might be what happens if geo-blocking is stopped. The result could be higher prices for poorer countries to keep rights holders in rich countries happy.

Jas777: Thanks David,
This model with sports won't work in NZ in regards to core NZ sports as it is unique to the US somewhat.
One thing a lot of people might not realise is that the sports packages they have are all region blocked in the US. If you login into MLBTV in New York state then you can't see the New York Yankees as a local cable channel has the rights.
