AT & T multi billion dollar buy DirecTV could depend on... Football?

An idyllic Sunday afternoon with news of a multibillion-dollar takeover of AT & T and DirecTV ruined people and - surprise, surprise - have not stopped to talk about yet. It is at least partly due to a clause in interesting break the two parties have developed: AT & T can wash your hands of the acquisition if DirecTV somehow locking up the rights to NFL Sunday ticket for a couple of years to do.

Not a fan of pigskin? Sunday ticket subscribers receive access to the full set of NFL games, not by local television affiliates in Exchange for approximately $39 per month (you can pay natch mobile, a bit more access) are managed. Finally something like 2 million 20 million DirecTV customers for everything pay fame - rust shows count, assuming that all figures for the General Plan (which is certainly not the case), a little back of the napkin math, that DirectTV more than 1.32 billion $ this customers can annually earn. Disable the rights to offer that cost a these games of football DirecTV large tranche of 4 billion $ for 4 years, so advantage of entertaining is not so impressive, but there is little me require the at & t is so interested. If we want to be honest, you can chances of DirecTV mucking things of his NFL deal are very low, but it's always interesting to see what (if present) throw roadblocks that these two giants closer pulling each other. 0 comments to share
