All us kiwis will sign up only to discover that our third world infrastructure means we hsave to watch blocky,jerky pictures rather than the high quality hd that the asians with there faster internet will enjoy.
The site owners wont care as we will already paid our 150 bucks. While we will end up not bothering to watch as it will be more ttrouble than its worth
Ah, but we are talking about the people who have bought the broadcast rights for NZ, and they paid money for it, and they will want to recover that and make a profit.
And as somebody who has lived in various parts of Asia over the last few years (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and currently Indonesia) then I can tell you that it is a wonderfully diverse region and that in a lot of it the Internet is slow, unreliable and by local wages, expensive.
Of course with it being a three year deal then if you get bad service you won't renew your subscription and they will go phut!
The Asians do like soccer though.
