I understand many people have said it won't happen owing to the rights holders making more money by selling on a country by country basis but it will be interesting development to watch.

Well if a company held the pan european rights and didn't have a local broadcaster in a country and did it themselves then under EU rules i should be able to subscribe to the same service in the cheapest country that offers the same thing? I can't see a company charging, say, Poland the same price that they'd charge here.
Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part.
