No idea and don't care what happens with Supercars but Foxtel won't be stopping F1 streaming when the next rights deal comes up.In every country where new F1 tv deals have come up for renewal this year-and there were over 40 of them with nearly all of them involving pay tv-a streaming option has been introduced.Although Liberty get a smaller amount when rights are not tv exclusive they are betting they can more than make this up from streaming subscriptions.An example of what will happen in Australia is Moto GP where Foxtel shows what is broadcast on the MotoGP.com site from meetings.
We will not be getting 4K streaming.Australia is condemned to a third world standard internet due to the political buffoons being in charge.Nothing can be done to fix that.We are stuffed in perpetuity.

Hate to tell you this mate but Supercars aint F1.

Foxtel says here's 200 million bucks, geoblock your streaming, that's what happens.

Read my post.I said at the start I couldn't care less about Supercars.I was just correcting your statement re F1.Wouldnt worry me if there was no coverage of any sort for Supercars.

Liberty Media (and other sports promoters) will eventually cut out the middle men.

Foxtel is only a delivery mechanism. When Liberty (and Supercars) can deliver the content themselves why involve Foxtel at all?

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.

By 2021 will the 4 horsemen be players?
.. some observers use the Four Horsemen to refer to Apple, Amazon, Facebook and Google, the online streamers causing devastation to traditional media and retail shopping

The issue in Australia is the technical inadequacy of the NBN.

That's nice, but mobile towers become congested more easily compared to a dedicated fixed line. Mobile data might seem good in principle, it's a real problem when lots of users are concentrated in one area.

<off topic> The CVC congestion created by the NBN's pricing structure is, on the other hand, artificial and could easily be eliminated by changing NBN's wholesale pricing structure.</off topic>

You have 18 months from NBN becoming available until your old connections are deactivated.Use all of it.If problems occur you are now allowed to revert to old network if you already tied yourself to the turkey.
