Why? that seems like 3.39 billion too much, Foxtel has pretty much run itself into the ground, overpriced, crap repeated on a loop for days on end, loaded with ads, dropping channels ( well ones I used to watch ) etc, seeing that most people now have smart TV's, firesticks etc and what's out there now for streaming is pretty cheap from all the other providers, they would have to have something that no one else has that is worth the exorbitant monthly fee ( which they really don't ) to make it a worthwhile purchase.

The only thing I'm going to miss is HBO cos they had some good series like GoT and HOTD. In the US you can subscribe to just HBO, but thats not available here yet. Compare that to Prime, for example, gets you prime membership with fast free shipping on goods, new films get added frequently, and for $10 a month. Will get Kayo when footy starts again. I just hope we don't become like the UK where practically all sports require a subscription service.
