@StarHub Basically confirming that your alerts are useless. I'm sure all those $30 charges for using 1kb of data over the limit are a nice little earner. I'm ending my subscription with you are the first opportunity

[Kevin McCullagh @kevinmccullagh]

@StarHub Why don't you notify your users properly when they are near the limit of their overseas data? I buy 1gb. I get notified at 500mb that I'm "running low". I don't get notified at 100mb or 50mb. One might suspect you want your users to go over their limit so...

[Kevin McCullagh @kevinmccullagh]

...you can charge them the $30. Please convince me otherwise. If not, I'm getting off your service asap.

If you want to understand sports content piracy, check out this podcast mini-series from my old pal @mattycutler and @UnffclPrtnr I doubt there's ever been a deeper dive on the topic

How many people in the UK watch sport illegally?

The best estimation was 3.9m (Intellectual Property Office). But that was 2022 research, before the cost-of-living crisis had bitten.

We were helped by @YouGov @YouGovSport to get a better/more up-to-date understanding.

@Banouby I'm thinking mostly about (i) demand for watching full 90-min games live and (ii) media rights values, particularly outside domestic markets. Even for the biggest Euro leagues, I think those metrics have peaked in many markets. Certainly where I am in East Asia.

[Kevin McCullagh @kevinmccullagh]

I think a big challenge for the commercial value of many sports is that much of the 'action' is not very compelling. I love football, but only two or three (?) out of every 10 matches is a banger. Even the best ones can have long, tedious periods e.g. recent World Cup final 1/

@danhaddad86 I didn't think Hashtag Utd were sports marketing 101 guys. Thought they were more digitally native, and creating this in response to audience demand or just experimenting. Could be wrong.
