it would have to be built into the conditions that only a certain number of broadcasters can hold the rights in order to maintain large figures... giving one precious right to an internet broadcaster would surely be a huge gamble - don't get me wrong, if it was tried and tested on another sport first; proving to be equally successful as TV, then I could see it it happening.
Just my opinion anyway.
