  • Experts say economic mismanagement and political repression are largely to blame for the tide of migrants leaving those countries.

  • RR didn't, the UK govt did, and the Soviets copied it

    From your link

    However, in 1946, before the Cold War had really begun, the new British Labour government under the prime minister, Clement Attlee, keen to improve diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union, authorised Rolls-Royce to export 40 Rolls-Royce Nene centrifugal flow turbojet engines. In 1958 it was discovered during a visit to Beijing by Whitney Straight, then deputy chairman of Rolls-Royce, that this engine had been copied without license

  • And then you'd be beholden to Apple. Makes no commercial sense.

  • I know. It's Apple's pitch. It just doesn't make business sense for Liberty to limit global streaming to one supplier.

    They will do the deals that the sponsors who fund the whole circus want done. And they want more eyeballs on their logos not fewer.

  • That's what apple are considering offering. That doesn't mean Liberty would bin F1TV.

    Advertisers want more eyeballs on their branding, not fewer

    Bernie always wanted it on free to view for that exact reason. He only did the sky deal because they made a dedicated channel that got 10m+ viewers, 4m more than when it was on free to air

  • The company is reportedly considering an offer worth about $2 billion per year, which would eventually make Apple the exclusive streaming rights holder of Formula 1 racing.

    The article makes that claim, that doesn't make it true. Why would Liberty do that? It would mean even fewer people having access

  • Lol, that's exactly my point. Alternatives should be available in the UK from F1TV or Apple, more competition reduces prices.

    Plus Sky make you pay for football, and I hate contributing to overpaid footballers.
