How long can it possibly be until they just have ALL the games available to watch live? What do you reckon Jeff?

Just as soon as they have a viable business model to make revenue off of it
Sorry to interrupt.

Ignorant bastard!
I know I''d pay at least the price of a season ticket to watch every single game live on my computer.

why not just get a friend to send you texts or go on the live text commentary on the bbc site?
In England the TV companies have never been allowed to show 3PM Saturday kick-offs live when there is a full league programme.
But even if that continues I would think that within the next few years the big clubs will play all their matches on Sunday, on pay per view if they're not on Sky. It might take a bit longer for the same thing to happen for smaller clubs though.

For much of the match I'll be on the M6 between Carlisle and Preston, where mobile coverage isn't great.
Because the FA think it will harm football at lower levels, with people choosing to watch a match on TV instead of going to games.

I suppose that's a fair point. Would be nice if they could provide video access to a worldwide audience though.

What they do in the States with the NFL is that if under a certain percentage of tickets are not sold the game is blacked out from television...seems like a good system.
The game is only blacked out in that teams specific market (determined by zipcodes within that teams catchment area). The game is still broadcast on the NFL Sunday Ticket. Same goes for MLB. All games are broadcast on MLBTV unless game is blacked out in your area - but even then it is still broadcast outside your catchment area to non-local fans.

Yeah, would be hard to implement in England no? I mean, some of these "Local" markets stateside are larger geographical areas than the entirety of England.
If it was broadcast via terrestrial transmitters or cable it would be easy to regionalise. By satellite it would be more difficult, but not impossible.
Agreed. Even an IP limit can be circumvented. Hopefully someone will invent some kind of method that prevents copyright infringement and gives everyone a fair opportunity to puchase rights to view their own teams without fear of some cheats ruining it for the rest of us.
Plus, if they can invent something that blocks Ian Stringers pathetic commentary on Foxes Player I'd happily pay a few hundred extra for it.

It easy to do that, just listen to the other team's commentators. That's what I usually do.
