The reason they don't go abroad can be seen in the wage table above.

Why go abroad to play on £2.5k a week when you can stay at home with your mates and get paid £10k a week for doing naff all?

Conversely South Americans these days won't hesitate playing and living in England.

It's really all about bundling PL rights with broadband and mobile telephone. People will use BT Broadband even if it's more expensive than the competition because you get free PL games.

But its not value for money. Their cheap packages have 20gig download limits even with PVR thrown in(?) so it depends how desperate you want to watch sport.

In BT's case they will start bundling Broadband with Mobile (now they have a mobile company) and Landline....which is known as Triple Play and you'll get some PL games thrown in. Once you have that customers become a lot stickier which is what the companies want. The only company that really offers that right now is Virgin.

I'm on EE broadband: unlimited download, getting 14megs speed for a tenner. I hoping the prices won't go up.

For their TV box you need their broadband and mobile phone.

Sky increasing prices

Not sure if the increases will be enough to cover what they are paying for the rights though

[bad company]

Can Sky increase prices for existing customers mid contract?
