Sports sites have relied on fantasy games for the bulk of their subscription income in the past few years, but with broadband proliferating, the time could be right for sports audio and video to explode….a nice story. Me quoted, of course.
“Broadband will be among the most disruptive influences on sports online,” said PaidContent.org’s Ali via e-mail. “Either the leagues can capitalize on it, or will capitulate under the pressure. Too much control will mean fans will not be happy, and will take the matter into their own hands, through technology. I won’t be surprised it these [peer-to-peer] networks start becoming full of game telecasts as well.”
