Direct subscription is the way forward. Perhaps not in time for the next rights but certainly the one after.
Foxtel themselves recognise this and have recently started to position themselves as an aggregated delivery mechanism.They are close to concluding an agreement to put Netflix in their content.I think for a long time to come there will be a place for them as a delivery mechanism.This is particularly so in Australia with our retarded third world Internet.News Limited did all they could to help successfully bring down the Labor government to protect their own commercial interests in this regard.
