BBC:
Video streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime now have more subscribers than traditional pay TV services in the UK, new data from Ofcom has revealed.
The media regulator says British TV will have to change the way it operates if it wants to compete with the internet giants.
Sharon White, Ofcom's chief executive, says: "We'd love to see broadcasters such as the BBC work collaboratively with ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 so that they have got that scale to compete globally, making shows together, co-producing great shows that all of us can watch.
"I think it would be great to see a British Netflix."

150 pounds is 300 bucks, which is not insignificant. I'd throw the TV out the window before I put up with that. Some things you can't do without, but TV is not one of them. So holding on to it and thereby enabling petty tyranny is inexcusable.
