From what can be seen in the media, there will be an F1 OTT streaming service for 2018. season. The question is - which countries will get it?
Does anyone have any reliable information about this?
https://f1broadcasting.co/2018/01/21...-moves-closer/A survey distributed by Hall & Partners on behalf of Formula 1 last weekend suggested that only five countries will have access to the live over-the-top service at launch. They are USA, Mexico, Germany, France, and the Netherlands. You can add Spain and the rest of Latin America to that list based on more recent rights announcements.
Streaming, is "not a near-term revenue driver but important long-term" claimed the bank, which forecasts that only 104,000 users will subscribe this year at an estimated monthly cost of £6 ($7.99) providing just £5.4m ($7.5m) of revenue.
Let us just say that I have access to 50 Gigabits of throughput in 10 countries all over the world.. It is kind of what I do for a job. I hope I will get the service running.
