I'd assume the subcontract would be with DTV. The question is will the league force Apple or Amazon or YouTube to negotiate it into the deal or would that be something that would happen after the contracts are signed.
OMG....I can't wait until the deal is officially done. I think every permutation possible has been hashed out here.
Yes, but from the NFL's perspective that's still a flat rate exclusive contract. They don't care if whoever gets that contract decides to sublicense it so long as they get their check every year and their deal with the networks (minimum pricing or whatever) is not violated.
No deal yet..i mean TNF was a flat exclusive contract but then they rememberred commercial Establishments at the last minute
Not yet. Nothing about the Cartoon Network and their bid for Sunday Ticket yet.

This what what will happen-
Apple or Amazon will get it.
DirecTV and Joe Hand Productions will handle the Business side because Commercial Establishments are not ready ( they need to update, they have about 5 years to get it done).
This will not cover people without broadband because how do you determine who has it and who does not.
Those Cable Mover sites are highly unreliable as are Provider’s sites, there has been many News Stories about people buying houses in, for example, a Comcast area and Comcast’s site says it is available, then the customers find out it is not and have to pay 10 of thousands to run lines.
My story was opposite, I posted this before, first, this house is considered to be in a rural area.
When we found this House, my wife said that one, went into info mode, first the Cable Movers site, said only Century Link was available at 3 down/1 up speed.
Checked Comcast, Charter, AT&T because I knew they were in Florida, nope, websites said unavailable, called the realitor and said looks like it will not work because of no broadband, she said they will look into it, got a call back and said the people selling this house had Charter, called Charter and they confirmed, I told the CSR about the website being wrong, I do not think she cared but it was fixed months later ( found out when I was considering Spectrum internet TV Service).
even after 3-5 years will Apple or Amazon really want want to do Commercial TV? or just let someone like Joe Hand Productions deal with it? Or set it up so that Joe Hand Productions handles the account side of the Commercial for amazon / and enforcement?
Does Apple or Amazon really want to deal with Commercial TV on there own + maybe have to change there login system to work for it
Say where an big franchise in where not only is each site
Is under it's own black out rules
has it's own staff (does corp IT really want to add / remove each local staff just so they can run the tv's?) and maybe have to pay for an EMAIL box?
has printed notes / passwords / etc for the TV system
--------------------------
Will Apple or Amazon be able to add an free user account that can only change TV channels / other basic TV etc and have it's own password rules (say fixed basic password) / 2fa rules (NONE) in an domain?
Give an local manager rights to give rights to other users under them but without forced to make them an full domain admin? or have them have to deal with all kinds of IT work?

Again, all the new stories about the Amazon Thursday Night Football deal are about the Businesses not being ready because of equipment and broadband, not because of Amazon not being able to handle business accounts.
And again, businesses need to upgrade, neither Satellite company is building or launching new satellites, DirecTV is losing a estimated 2 million subs a year ( based on 2020 and the first two quarters of 2021 numbers), Dish 800,000-up, even if the losses do not increase ( they will) they both will be unprofitable within 5 years and will shut down, that will be extended to 10 years if they merge, by then Satellites will start going bad with no new ones.

And down the rabbit hole we go.
They will need it, Satellites will fail, no more going up, will be unprofitable, programing is switching to streaming.
What choice do they have?
and is any one planing on making an streaming cable / directv like service for commercial public view locations?
that puts all the live sports feeds into an nice grid where you don't need to jump over 5-6 different apps just to find an game?
put's it all under 1 bill
let's you have 8-16 feeds at the same time?
does blackouts?
maybe is lose on HDCP / may look the other way when the HDCP system finds an SWITCHER system?
WILL at the very least work on boxes that have ethernet ports
No reason there can’t be an ip based system that can route video sources.
